This is genuinely amazing acellus. I love acellus
lets do the big boom!
The hydrogen car is very interesting.
I liked the video today, especially Caleb and Davidās skit.
R51 is always my favorite
I like the part when R51 is gonna show some thing ?
I liked todayās live video. You should have named one of the pigs porky, that would be good. I think you should put the thing in the gold shop, and I never knew about touch me not until today.
Hello from Georgia!! Amazing episode!
I think the plants that close when you touch them are really interesting.
Hello from Alabama!!!
I love Acellus Academy.
Great episode this week as always!!! I really liked Dr. Johns section on the Touch-Me-Not plants, it was really interesting :]
Hi from Texas cool live
I loved this episode! Watching from Illinois.
Watching from West TN.
I think it would be a really amazing idea to have the circuit board because there are so many different possibilities with it and I just think it is a very good idea.
Love ā¤ļø science live
I think this one was funny and I liked learning about the micro controller.
I would love to see a hydrogen car flying over the acellus headqourters
I love R51
I really enjoyed this Wednesdayās episdose!
Lets Go!! Another Great science Live.
Hi from Californiaā
I still have so much to learn
hello from ct!!!!!!!
Gotta love the Proteges and Inventioneers! The Calculus class looks interesting.
We look forward to watching the science live with Acellus world .
Hello from kansas
The Proteges and Inventineers are hilarious. And, I can’t wait to watch Acellus World. I love your videos!
I loved the r51
How do you join the ventioneering club?
my question in how did someone even come up with creating such a small circut to power that.
Where do the touch me not plants grow? Are they poisonous?
i loved the robot arm it was my favorite part
Hi this is Emma and i wanted to say i would to come see this in person some day.
I can’t wait for next week im so excited for science live š¤Ŗ š¤ and this live was funny š š and this science live is the best one so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and 51 is so funny š š š š¤£ š š š š š š¤£ š š š š š š¤£ š š š š š š¤£ š š š š š š¤£ and I thought he was going to make a fire š„
I would love if you could put rather board on the Acellus store I have lots of coins so I should be able to by the board.
HI from Arkansas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi from New York!
Thank you for this video, it was very interesting!
i thought the 555 was really cool I donāt know about you but I think itās cool thank you science live for teaching me
the way the plant reacted to the touching of a predator in a way was awesome to look at showing how it closed up for a surviving instinct
I thought it was very creative that They made towers.
Thanks for another great show.
The part of the plant is so so interesting I never knew there was plants that could move!
I loved this science live!!
Amazing episode this week!
i love watching science live every week!!
Hello from Ohio.
I love science live so much!!!!!!!!! thank you guys.
This live was very entertaining!!
I LOVE science live.
the microcontroller sounds amazing.
DO IT! It was so funny that when they were doing something educational the battery went up then when they were not it went down. Canadian bacon so funny
I like how the controller sends a signal to the servo which makes my RC car move.
How does the touch me not plant close up like that?
A ardunio board being put in the gold store sounds amazing! I think you should call it the acellus board or the billings board. My science fair project includes a ardunio board, and a little bit of astronomy. Great episode today, I’m looking forward to Acellus World. I will be tuning in live! I wanted to share a quick idea for Acellus Academy. I think you should add something in Acellus, where we can comunticate with other students and/or teachers. Sort of like a discord server, but seprate it for different ages.
Hello from Mississippi!!!
I do believe that some or most plants can memorize the circadian rhythm.
How large or small can a ardoino be?
Wow! Another fantastic blog! I love learning with Acellus š I would love if you could please include more episodes about the ocean and astronomy, especially deep sea and the possibility of life beyond earth. Thanks in advance! š«¶š»
I liked the part when they had lego guys.
Hi from North Carolina
The way that the inventioners did not make it educational so the Proteges had to step in and fix it.
I think the Arduino should be added to the acellus gold shop.
I loved Learning with you
I always learn so much on a science live.
Great lesson today, thank you!
I think its cool that there is a plant that can protect itself, nature in so wonderful.
R-51 is so good!
It is so nice how the Arduino is capable of doing so many unheard of tasks that previously seemed impossible!
science live is the best
Great episode! Canāt wait for more!
A shindig would be awesome!!!
Happy anniversary!!!
How can a microcontroller work with others?
I love learning about electronics
Hydrogen cars sound pretty cool
It’s so crazy how AI is so inaccurate!
When we say that the plants can count because they can sense and adjust to changes of light and dark, would this be like their circadian rhythm?
hi from mississippi
I like when he walks away and the light turns off.
Acellus is ROCKING IT!!!
Technology is incredible!!
You should talk about how projectors work!
Hi from Montana
I love science lab!
It is cool how the plant can count and know when the sun can rise and set and then close up when it is touched
Why do plants know how to count
Acellus is awesome
Hello From Montana…I love Acellus so so so much!!!!
Comment Another great science Live!!
and yes- constant changes in life
Great episode, enjoy all the science lives. I always learn something new.
Why does R51 act like he knows everything hahaha!
Science live is the highlight of Acellus !! I love tuning in every week to watch and learn.
I did’t know that PLANTS can count! That is SO COOL!
What grade do you start to learn calculus
I didn’t know that Acellus used to have one of the best calculus teacher.
Mr Tobias makes me laugh every time, I wish he taught my math class as well.
What is the smallest micro controller?
YES! Watching from SoCal! š
Had so much fun watching the live today!
yes! id love a little microcontroller!
does all tech have arduinos
Robots are so cool!
Science live is really cool
Hello from Virginia.. Thank you for this LIVE…
I can wait to hear about what they discover with the smart plant!
Science Live is my favorite part of Acellus.
I have that plant!
I think it is an excellent idea to have a celebration for the 60th Anniversary of the Hydrogen car. You should definitely have a celebration!
That is very interesting that plants can count.
why do the chemicals react like that together?
Acellus is the best!!
It be able to see a hydrogen car over at the Acellus headquarters would amazingly awesome!
I want to ask about those the plant now wane it is day time and night time?
The claw for the protege was cool
What is the difference between dark matter and dark energy?
I feel like every live here gets better and better! Thanks for our entertainment Acellus team!
How easy is it to make a micro controller board?
Yes, we definitely need to have a celebration for the 60th Anniversary of the Hydrogen car. It will be fun!
I want Mr. Patrick Mara as my math teacher even though I’m not in calculus!!!!!
hello from georgia i think that is a great idea
Do plants react the same as our bodies with circadian rhythm?
Itās cool that the plant learned when the light would be on and off.
I love learning about the touch me not plants
I cant wait to invent something.
ACELLUS IS THE BEST!!!
Can we build a robotic spider?
It would be cool to see a (r)board in the gold store
Arduinos are amazing!!!
Hydrogen explosion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:3
Happy anniversary for your hydrogen carš
Hello from Kansas great science live
Hi from Nevada! Loved it!
I think that it is really cool that plants can count. I wonder long it took to make the first Arduino? I really enjoyed learning more about the microcontroller this week!
i really liked the video and i have sleeping plants where i live
What exactly is a raspberry pi?
I love r 51
Acellus Live Science is the BEST! I love learning about new and different creations of technology and its history! Its so intriguing to me!
Hi from Texas!
Microcontrollers are fun, the one downside is how fragile they can be sometimes
I canāt wait for the science fair it will be so much fun!
Hello, today the trailer for the Calculus Class, featuring Patrick Mara, gave me inspiration to do extra classes.
Science lives are so fun!
Happy anniversary to the Hydrogen Car
It’s always a great time watching these videos!
I really liked this episode and congrats Claudia you go girl! š
When was the arduino made?
Loving science live like always!
I will miss you mister John have a safe flight
Acellus is great!
happy 60th anniversary for the first hydrogen car!!!!
i would love to go to fill up more seats
It was so interesting to learn how plants close up from Dr. John.
Wow, its really cool that even plants and animals without brains still have ‘programming’ per se so that they can learn and be active.
Hello from Idaho!!!
I would love to see a microcontroller on the gold store. I think you could call it the Billings Builder Board (or Base). It would also be cool to see a collection of gadgets or kits that work with it (arms, lights, motors, displays, prototype boards).
Thank you once again for the podcast.
Technology is great for learning
love it free R-51
I learned so much from this Science live today.
science live is the best
One thing I liked in todays video was learning about the microcontroller. I also learned about the 555 computer and how it works.
kits with microcontroller would be fun to use for my home schooling if they were reasonably priced.
Studying with Acellus is very fun bc u can take ur time and make ur notes pretty.
As someone who knows Italian, the accent bit was hilarious
the hydrogen car was awesome!!!! š
the plant closing was super cool because it could close.
I was very shocked about hearing plants can count!!
Science is so cool!!!!!
Who discovered the touch me not plant?
Love learning different things from Science live
thank you for today’s science live it was very interesting and exciting I loved it.
I love science live!
