Hello from Montana
R.51 did not invent the mechanical butterfly because he BOUGHT IT OFF ETSY
Hello form Montana.
thank you for an amazing science live
Hello, my name is Jacob. I especially liked the part when they attached a camera to a weather balloon, because it’s interesting to see the scale of the Earth from space. Anyway, thank you for the knowledge.
It is very cool that Caleb and David built a balloon to go to space. The pictures where out of this world.
I love watching Science Live!
I love this so much.
I like the prizes and have fun doing projects with my mom.

how does camera stabilization work?
I’m so glad you added the Science live to YouTube. Social media is such a great platform
The science live today was so cool!
Science live was fun today
Thank you that was very neat about the weather balloon
The cinnamon roll was pretty cool.
This is SO cool!
Pretty cool that Mr. Billings won the gold/silver awards at a science fair in 1966!!
The balloon experiment was a highlight.

Did they seriously go to the lengths to actually send a cinnamon roll out of the atmosphere?. Wow
I love these science lives!
I would not want to be that cinnamon roll 😀
It was pretty cool how the video was on YouTube this time I’m exited for the science fair.
I always love watching these!
this will be my first science fair. my dad won a lot of prizes in science fairs when he was young and he said it is a lot of fun. I am looking forward to having fun designing a project .
Whats the most impressive invention you’ve seen at a science fair?
Is there any way to view the inventions of the science lab when it’s finished, or will it be shown on the science live when time is due? Hi from Montana!
hi! me and my dad love watching science live!
That was cool how they sent up a cinnamon roll up!! I wish you guys luck on the Gold Key thanks for trying to keep us safe!!!
Science live day is so exciting
I thought the experiment with shooting the cinnamon roll into space was funny and cool!
Thank you Science Live. That Cinnamon Roll Project was cool and I learned alot today.
Putting a cinnamon roll in the sky was a great idea!! Love science live!!
It is super cool to learn that music can be applied to a science project. And to learn that music notes father apart are less pleasing to our ears than notes closer together.
It was great thanks for having me.
Super excited for the science fair. I would love to win the telescope or the one year scholarship.
i lovee this video, it was so fun to watch!.
I liked it too, when the balloon went up high into the sky. The pictures where awesome!
Can’t wait to see the next science live!
I love Science Live!

I got my acellus bennie
As a piano nerd myself, I found the frequency project really cool and interesting.
science live is pretty cool.
wow i learn so much from these videos!
Hi from Texas!
Such a cool live excited for the science fair
Like the youtube thing.
It was very cool on how the proteges used an air balloon to be the first people to have a cinnamon roll into outer space.
Did the Cinnamon Roll freeze or get warm because it was close to the sun?
This episode was amazingly interesting!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Science Live. I learned alot.
the ballon in the sky was a very cool experiment
I really resonate with the saying “leave the place better than how you found it.” I will continue to carry that wisdom with me in my life.
Did the cinnamon rolls taste good at least?
That cinnamon roll test was the coolest thing I’ve seen In science live so far and as for the question I would send a boombox to space just to see how the music is affected the higher It gose.
Hello from California! Always love science live!
I loved todays lesson!
Enjoyed this very much, always looking forward for the next one!
the science fair sounds so cool!
It was very interesting to learn about the ozone layer and how it absorbs all the frequency of light so when the weather balloon went past that it actually warmed up!
a cinnamon roll in the sky is so cool.
I liked when they sent the balloon in the sky with the cinnamon roll. I thought it was a cool experiment.
I really liked this live!!
Loved the balloon that was cool!
These are sooo crazy!!
What? I didn’t see that yet, Asher! But I can’t wait to see that part!
I like the Balloon experiment
That’s crazy how the Proteges sent a cinnamon roll!
So did I! I wish we could do more experiments like this about space.
Science live day is so exciting
I really enjoyed relaxing watching this live after doing my daily streak
Greetings from Poland!!!
Right? I love it! It’s literally the BEST!
I hope I get to win a couple of prizes just as big and important as those ones one day!
Science today was fun !!!
Dr. Roger Billings is so inspiring! Science live is so educational.
I liked how it was on YouTube it showed me how much more I love acellus lives
this is so fascinating my dad says that if you leave something better than you found it you will make things a lot easier
Cinnamon roll in the sky, Hilarious!!
Love that they have it on YouTube! Love science live!
the cinnamon roll in the sky was absolutely hilarious. i loved this science live!
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.
Cindys project on piano notes was very interesting. Keep the videos coming!
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!
I know! I love it too.
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!
