I think coming up with the Iphone was really cool because it must’ve been cool to go from typing on buttons then to just typing on the screen. This live was really fun to watch!
I love science live! And poor r-51….
Sign language seems to be a rather niche form of communication that would be beneficial for many more people to know!
acellus have helped me so much! and i will always love it !!!!!!
What if a spaceship went out of our universe and went to a black hole and went In it and recorded it and we found a whole nother universe galaxy and different planets?
How big was the IPhone when it was invented?
Merry Christmas

It was interesting learning about Edison and electricity
Loveee this school! And the lives are just the cherry on top.
This was an excellent video! Acellus is awesome!!
The “PDA” device looks so interesting, I would have honestly wanted it for the stylist because I’m very interested in the idea of old 2000s inventions and toys and music so I find it very interesting how we went from that kind of phone to an Iphone! It’s so insane how our generation is so different compared to other generations.
Sooo cool!!!
Really interesting lesson on the Edison Effect and how it helped shape vacuum tubes and electronics.
excited for the new sign language class!
This is the best.
It’s really cool how they use AI to figure out how to make treatments faster!
Thank you for teaching us about the discovery of the Edison Effect.
How do you do it every time. You guys are awesome!!!!
Great Lesson learned so much Thank you.
