Acellus Academy is the best homeschooling program!!!
Amazing!
Awesome as always❤️.
The Eddison effect by Thomas Eddison is one of my favorite effects because it really shows the power of what vacuum tubes can do.
Hi Acellus! I love these science lives and look forward to them every single week thank you! And really enjoyed this live!

R-51 was so funny! I really liked this live.
Hello from Florida! Loved today. Dr. Tobias, very interesting session. Thank you to Acellus!
I like the space telescope
I love how different subjects intertwine with each other like how in history class we always learned about Edison inventing the light bulb but you learn the science behind it in science classes or lessons like this.
This science live was very funny!

Hi from Alabama
Marry Chistmas! Great live, enjoyed watching.
I agree, I think the iPhone revolutionized America (and smartphones as a whole)
I really liked learning about Thomas Edison!
As a soon to be graduate, I wish you guys could set up technical careers on IST that we could take online while we make up our minds on what we will study in college. Als that the careers on IST could be expanded.
Happy Christmas y’all, and a merry new year 😉
