I liked when they sent the balloon in the sky with the cinnamon roll. I thought it was a cool experiment.
Science live day is so exciting
I hope I get to win a couple of prizes just as big and important as those ones one day!
I liked how it was on YouTube it showed me how much more I love acellus lives
Cinnamon roll in the sky, Hilarious!!
I found it cool how one of the prizes is a $300 dollar value telescope.
I learned about the new science fair coming up im so excited to see what people will invent and the weather balloon experiment was awesome.
That was cool they sent up a cinnamon roll up. Good luck on the Gold Key thanks for trying to keep us all safe.
Dr. Billings,
Thank you for working so hard for us and giving us this great opportunity. I really love science live so thank you for inspiring me to be better. I’m excited to enter the science fair next year.
roger billings is awesome and so are the science lives!
Do i have to be there irl or can i record my prodject, if so how?
How can we get tickets to come to Science Live? I really like watching the episodes, and would really like to see one in person.
I loved Cindy’s project on piano notes, I thought it was so interesting how lower notes have slow low frequencies, and high notes have faster higher frequencies, it makes so much sense! It was amazing when she showed the 3 notes that sounded good and their wavelengths, vs the notes that didn’t sound good and their wavelengths! They line up, and sound much more pleasing to our ears, so cool!
The science fair sounds super fun! Can’t wait for the next science live!!
Do you have to be there in person, or can you do it online, since I do not think I could go to Kansas City, since I live in TN. The prizes are really interesting, and I think I know a good idea for the science fair!!!
Enjoying Wednesday night videos! Thank y’all!
The story of Morris Miester that Dr. Tobias told is fascinating!
That was so interesting about the presentation that student made about the different wavelengths of different notes on the piano, and how when the wavelengths match up it provides a more appealing sound!
if we’re not entering in a project can we still come and watch the science fair
Science Live is always very exciting, Very hyped up for the science fair!
Check out a few question:
1. When did the first science fair begin?
2. Did the cinnamon roll freeze while get to he ozone layer?
I had the same question about Gold Key. Thank you for making it available to all of us students. The card and USB both sound awesome. It’s so hard to remember all the different passwords I need to use.
I’ve only been to a few science fairs in elementary school so these fairs blow them away. The advanced projects that are presented makes a non science person like me want to check it out. Love the experiment with the cinnamon bun, surprised a bird didn’t grab it on the way up !
I had the same question about Gold Key. Thank you for making it available to all of us students. I can’t wait to start using it.
The Gold Key Alliance is really interesting and it seems like it will help a lot to protect our data.
Learning about the Science Fair was so interesting. The prizes sound amazing especially the telescope.
I have an arduino! And R-51 could you servo motors to flap the wings of a butterfly!
Can the scientists tell how many pancakes Oozie ate?
Learning about the Science Fair was so intersting. It was so cool to see how they got the cinnamon roll so high in the sky.
That’s so true that people don’t know how to achieve their goals due to not really knowing what they are. Thats awesome about how the science fair came to be!
science fairs are such a great way to show off your skills as a future scientist and a great oppertunity to make connects to further support your career in various fields. I am so excited for the science fair! Thank you Dr. Billings and the rest of the science live team for this weeks episode!
Those are some neat prizes. I like the Celestron Telescope! I would probably do a learning project in the science fair someday talking about research I have done for my reptiles.
It was very cool how they got the cinnamon roll in the sky very high. this was very cool.
I love roger billings! so excited for the science fair!!
Been looking forward to watching Science Live all day!
The Gold Key Alliance is really interesting and it seems like it will help a lot to protect our data. 🙂
Thank you for another amazing science live Dr. B and the Acellus team!!!
The gold key is such a great concept, and the science fair project the boys did with the weather balloon was super cool and the cinnamon was a funny but unique idea.
I wanted to know what happened to the cinnamon roll? Did it survive the fall and were the protégés able to eat it? Are the protégés going to do more experiments in the future with the weather balloon? What was the temperature reading at the height the Balloon got up to before it fell? What other topics would be okay to do for a learning project? I’m still confused on what I could do for the science fair and how to go about doing it. Can Mr. Billings talk about other learning projects that students could do for the science fair? I would appreciate it.
Wow, the origin of science fairs, how cool Dr, Tobias!
I am so excited to see what new inventions come out of the science fair.! I mean, it could be something to change the world. It’s very exciting.!!
So happy for the science fair!!
The Science Fair part was amazing
I have seen YouTube videos of people still using the bucket mouse trap
We love watching Science Live as a family
What a wonderful science live today! 😀
I never knew how the science fair originated!
Science fair sounds like it’s going to be fun!
Facts of tonight; first national science fair was in the 1950s, with about 15,000 applicants. Only 30 of them made it to finals. In the 1960s the science fair was open for international competition.
I was amazed at how high the balloon went! The first cinnamon roll to fly to space needs to be documented in a book or something lol.
Love this week’s science live regarding Science Fairs. Also, the gold key sounds interesting.
I would love to win the telescope! I thought the girls learning experiment was really cool.
This was such a fun live! I really enjoyed the topic on pancakes haha
My first time on Science Live. I enjoyed it. I agree Science Fairs are good for education!
I wish I could send something into space
Wow, it’s amazing that a cinnamon roll made it back from space 😀
Thank you for a great science live! R51 is so funny!! thanks for teaching us about the scientific method
When I was 10, I visited a museum in Bolzano and got to see Ötzi in person! It’s wild to think that 3,000 years ago people weren’t that different from us and Ötzi was eating pancakes being one of the oldest mummies in the world. Hahaha!
The Inventioneers sending a cinnamon roll to space the video of its flight and the Earth’s landscape was amazing!
Also, the short clip of them singing Choosin’ Texas is so funny, it’s my favorite song at the moment.
Thanks for today’s live! I really enjoyed it, also I’ll be ordering my GoldKey this week! 🙂
It’s really cool how the proteges project went to space higher than what it was expected.
The mouse trap and mice in the bucket Dr B was talking about was interesting. Gold key will be good to protect our school work answers from being stolen.
The science fair is always something to look forward to. It teaches all type of stuff and gives us a new perspective on certain matters. Thank you for educating us science live!
My name is Julissa and I am from Georgia. It is crazy to me that the first person to ever eat pancakes happened 5000 years ago. My most favorite breakfast dish!
Hi from Cape Cod! Who knew that the history of pancakes was so fascinating?!
Cinnamon roll? In SPACE?!!!!!
Could we see the prototype of Acellus Goldkey, if there is one?
Amazing life attitude! From now on I will not make pancakes!
Science live was great, the proteges accomplishment to take a weather balloon into outer space was an excellent one.
I always love attending science live, the way you make everything intresting has always made me curious about learning new things.
I loved this episode of the proteges!!! Did you guys eat the cinnamon rolls????
Seeing the altitude comparison with Mt. Everest really puts it into perspective, alsoo loveedddd today’s live with step by step on how to win the Science Fair.
R-51 is the best.
I loved this live. The gold key launch is very great and could impact our day to day life’s in a good way, and your airplane story was very interesting and I’m glad you’re okay!
Now I want pancakes for dinner. …. Yum. 🤣
Best of luck to all the people participating in the science fair. I also wonder if those cinnamon rolls were still good to eat.
The live was good. R51 was cool and funny. Can’t wait for the science fair.
The science fair seems really fun to do! I like how it was made international so that even more people can show off their ideas.
can I have a gold key
I can’t wait for the Science Fair!
Thank you so much
