Hello from Missouri. How close are the fires to the school?!
i learned that scientist made things super hydrophobic with lasers
When will scientists create a new spider type where, it can be on land and be in the water?
this video was very informational thank you
i thought that the thing about the spider was cool that type of spider eats small fish
hi from mt
hello from ohio!!
Love these!
hey from Alabama
It’s so cool learning about the 555! The different parts to a computer chips are so interesting to learn about!
Hi from Mississippi
I love science live

hi from texas
my great uncle use to work on computers for the airforce
that’s so cool that they made a train book because how many buttons
Woah! So neat. I always love watching Science Live. Thanks!
Hi from Texas
Hello from Montana!
Amazing thanks you guys for doing so much!
AMAZING 🙂
Hey from Texas!
It’s cool that you can make metal hydrophobic.
(:
I loved watching science live this week!
I think that the circuit was cool
I hope that drink makes the produjes really smart
Great episode as always!!
Could you put a robot car in the shop please.
I love the videos!!
That is so cool that colors have different temperatures
Pajet Monet’s story was absolutely beautiful!
This week’s episode was amazing! My favorite part was about the spider that lived under water, it’s so cool how it makes that big air bubble so it can breathe under water.
Science Live was so fun.
Interesting stuff. Thanks.
The next episode really should be more about the 555! This was a great episode overall and the next episode will be amazing!
Science live is the best!
dr Billings have you ever done an episode of plant biology? If you have what is the number episode and if not, could you maybe make one? Thank you so much for the amazing curriculum you created.#iloveacellus
I now want to try and make my own clock with this circuit
i love science live
I love the fish joke!
How many wires did they use to make the circuit?
I enjoyed watching this
loved hearing about the hydro spiders, and seeing the robot dance.
hey from Illinois 🙂
Wooooow…. Cooooool :3
I enjoyed watching the big ACD2 Robot. I enjoyed the robot dancing and the song.
dang that was wild lol. I’m a 555 too lol
Thank you for expanding our minds with science!
hi from sc
I love Wednesdays!
Seeing metal float is cool
Metal floating is so cool!
I didn’t know the two 7s had jobs that can do a lot of stuff.
It is amazing that you can make metal float on water.
I learned that the sun’s rays have different colors and some of them are hotter than the others. 😊
Different colors have different wave lengths.
There are spiders that live in the water.
This live was cool.
Hi from MO
Woah this video was awesome this week!
Comment i love the robot dancing soo funny *
Hi from Missouri
This was very interesting!!
Wow! i love science live
I liked learning about circuits with the proteges.
r-51 should make more teacher serum
The hydrophobic metal is awesome. It would be cool to make all boats out of that. Infrared light is really cool and how it goes straight through the bag. The AI song was interesting.
In todays science live Dr. Roger billings talked about how the social emotional course was made . R.51 took the robot in area 51 and taught him how to dance
I love R.51
Dr. Roger billings said to send him a video of the robot dancing to a song.
Thanks for featuring the Proteges and finding out that there will be a new inventioneer named Claudia is very exciting !
Hi from Texas
I had learned about Water Spiders. Super hydrophone. William Herschel. The Flip Flop Circuit. I enjoyed it. Thanks!
here from nc
Number 1# r51 fan
I’m looking forward to entering the robot dance contest
I’m like school
Great live can’t wait to watch next week!!!!
Hi from Ohio
Hi from Cape Cod! I really enjoyed watching the dancing robot 🙂
I can’t believe that a spider evolved to make a bubble so it can live underwater!!! It is crazy that one spider inspired many scientists to make metal NOT SINK!!
I didn’t know different colors had different temperatures from red as the hottest to violet as the coldest colors we can see and infa red light is the hottest color we know!!! If infa red light is the hottest color then is ultra violet light the coldest color?!
The acd2 song was surprisingly good and funny!
Thank you for sharing this information.
I had learned about Water Spiders. Isaac Newton and colors. Robots. I enjoyed it! Thanks!
the prodiges are so funny! I hope you guys do NOT throw that football at the circuit again!!!
I liked the song and watching the robot dance.
hello! I loved the live, cant wait for the next one!
I love R51
Loved this live!
I love AC-D2 🙂
I wonder what inventions might come out of that floating technology!
What was the first computer, and how did it differ from modern, widespread computer.
Really enjoyed learning about the infared lighting!
Is it possible for a genetically modified human to be hydrophobic? If it is possible, would the microscopic holes that make it possible to be hydrophobic damage your body in a critical or fatal way?
Loved this! very informational
it was about that metal can float even if they have holes in it.
Thanks for the live!
This is so interesting !! I love these lives
Thank you! Cool stream!
I agree that all schools should offer Social Emotional as a class!
One thing I liked in todays video was learning about a water spider and how it can breath under the water. I also liked learning about a binary counter and how it works in todays world.
I love watching the proteges videos they are so funny.
I like the fact that there are different circuits with the same prices but different outputs its crazy. I never thought that everyday we don’t see the different componets in a circuit
I can’t wait to watch his again next week! I love David and Caleb! I’m a 555 girl and I’m very socinal lol
Hello from NY!
This was so fun to watch❤️❤️❤️❤️
555 for sure!
R51s thing actually worked but kinda sad how the cardboard Pajet Monet wasn’t there.
If you put microscopic holes on a ship to make some part of it hydrophobic, would that help prevent accidents (namely, sinking due to a breach or something), and if so, what part of the ship would need to be hydrophobic?
why is the live not working for me?
Could Calab and David start an Inventioneering course for the students?
Is really cool how the metal can float in the water. What if they use the metal to make a boat with it now that it can float?
Can’t wait for Caleb and David!!!
What are water spider? How can water bounce off the surface? Do sunlight have multiple colors? Can he use sunlight to turn up heat? What is a capacitor?
I like the video and talking about the 555 and the flipflop an showing ac-d2 new song i love making comment have a good night .
these videos are always so interesting
Enjoyed the live tonight. Very interesting.
this was awesome!! I loved it so much!!
Loved today’s live circuits make more sense now
If infrared light is warmer on a thermometer, is ultraviolet cooler?
So cool these videos are awesome!!!
Hi I am from Tennessee love the science videos
I love Science Live.
Can’t wait for ACD2
The science live is so cool.
The intergram circuit is off and and create a electricity.
Dr Billings Robot is super cool and funny to see dance around
hi from florida
Wow so cool I love your videos
Thank you Acellus! Just applied for graduation
I know that the light is made out of 7 colors. The protoeges are sooooo dramatic. I know the 7 grams.
what is a water spiders web made of?
Thank you for this live!!! Hello from ct
Loved the lesson thank you!
This video was so intresting . I loved learning about Integraed circuits. Can’t wait to go to Acellus world.
Just started this program and I LOVE IT!!- sent from Texas.
I really liked this video, i do coding sometimes myself so it’s really nice to see other people teaching stuff like it.
I’m a flip flop btw lol
I wonder how long it took to program the robot to dance.
This was my favorite video so far! The big robot, the spider, and learning more about the science fair and Acellus World online was so cool! Thank you!
I loved this live it was so cool
yas. how do you change the speed of like how the pulse
Would our robot friend every have an upgrade in the future, perhaps something like arms?
Great show tonight as allways!!!!!!!!!!
I loved science live today 😋
I know this might sound crazy but here me out
New conspiracy theory
The protégés are really just test subjects for r-51 to experiment on. Like he said he just created the serum and he never thought it would work on protégés. It almost seams that as he’s experimenting on them he is preparing them to become teachers. As we saw in the little clip when they drank the serum David gets a vision of doctor john whilst Caleb gets a vision of lady pajet. Not only do they get the visions of the teachers but they also get the knowledge and experience of them. Might be a little foreshadowing going on here.
Hello from NC.
When was the first rainbow found?
I LOVE THIS!!!
Its cool how william hersho thougth about sir isaac newton and about the colors and it cool how the mittle can flout even whith holes
I like how David and Caleb explains things.
It was great my favorite part was the Area 51 guy
It’s amazing to see what nature is capable of, and how humans have advanced their technology by taking inspiration from it.
How long dose it take to make one of those tubes hydrophobic?
Good night everyone and see you next Wednesday.
A decade counter is a digital electronic circuit that counts ten distinct states between numbers 0 – 9.
A integrated circuit is a tiny self-contained electronic circuit consisting of interconnected components.
Saying hello from Tennessee!!
Amazing live these lives are so fun to watch!
Hello from Illinois! I’m glad to do a science live with everyone. I love the part where you made a robot and it looks just like the real thing!
I really liked the video. I loved AC-D2.
This is so interesting! I love Tobias’s talking!
That video was very funny!
I love how much you can teach me in one science live
hi from Georgia, cool video
I never knew there were underwater spiders
I love the live stream. I loved the segments on this one as they were visually appealing and very interesting to learn about! I feel the social emotional class is very important as well. It teaches how to control behaviors and how to make a positive impact on the world around us!
The protégés like broke R-51’s circuit then fixed it during the question to talk about and drank the Acellus Teacher Serum lol
Can you use one wire to run two circuits?
Wow so excited!!
love science live ❤️
Hi from NC.
This was another amazing episode! I loved learning about all the different parts of a computer chip!
The Protégés are so funny. I can’t wait for every weeks Science Live with the Protégés. Keep up the awesome work.
love what yall do
Great job Mr.billings with these lives. Looking for towards nexts week video!!
Love learning about metals and science in general in science live, how doe r-51 manage to make me laugh everytime. Love science live and will see you guys next week!
I FEEL like these comments are botted but I have no idea if they are or not.
Thanks for since live it helps much needed *
Are the protegéis getting a new member too
Cool science live!
I really enjoyed today’s science live!
