Electrify your science class with this simple electrolysis experiment. After first reading about hydrogen and its potential as an alternative energy source, a demonstration is performed showing young scientists how water molecules can be...

Science teams make models of four different hydrocarbon compounds that we commonly use for fuel. Then they demonstrate chemical reactions that result when energy is produced. This can be used as an enrichment when your class is studying...

The New Mexico Solar Energy Association provides an article entitled, "Electrolysis: obtaining hydrogen from water - the basis for a solar-hydrogen economy". The article is medium size in length with pictures and charts throughout to help.

This lab exercise exposes students to a potentially new alternative energy source-hydrogen gas. Student teams are given a hydrogen generator and an oxygen generator. They balance the chemical equation for the combustion of hydrogen gas...

Students form expert engineering teams working for the (fictional) alternative energy consulting firm, Greenewables, Inc. Each team specializes in a form of renewable energy used to generate electrical power: passive solar, solar...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students read about cars of the future. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in classifying and categorizing.
