ABCs of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

Feeling confined by your current cell-teaching strategies? Try an interactive inquiry-based plan! Young cellular biologists explore the different types of cells, plus their structures and functions in a hands-on computer modeling...

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...

The function of a cell determines the shape and structure of the cell. An inquiry-based activity explores the different functions and shapes of cells. They make connections between these two characteristics and develop conclusions about...

Fuel cells are being called the "energy source" of the future. Allow your high school chemistry class to construct a miscroscale fuel cell, complete with all components to generate energy. This engaging activity will allow them to apply...

With rising oil prices and increasing concerns over global warming, the pressure is on for engineers to develop alternative sources of energy. Among the new technologies being developed are hydrogen fuel cells, which young scientists...

A fuel cell is where the jailer keeps gas guzzlers. Scholars review chemical reactions, chemical bonds, and chemical structure in order to apply these concepts. Participants construct fuel cell kits, using electrolysis to run the car and...

Discover the connection between redox reactions and fuel cells. Collaborative groups build a Hoffmann Apparatus that demonstrates the electrolysis of water and then convert their models into a fuel cell. They use their fuel cells to...

Brief, but beneficial, this little gem displays the workings of a hydrogen fuel cell. A simple black-line diagram has question marks at the input and the output, as well as in the middle of the cell. Click on each question mark to reveal...

Materials don't need a password to move through cell membranes! Learners explore how cells move materials across the cell membrane. The video then teaches the detailed workings of both passive transport (specifically diffusion,...

If a cell is unable to regulate the cell cycle, wild cell growth may occur, leading to cancer. Learners explore the cell cycle, using mitosis and meiosis to create new cells. Learners walk, simply, through each phase of the cell cycle:...
