Fuel Cell

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

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 the materials involved in each spot. Also, click on "anode" and "cathode" to uncover the half equation that occurs at each. Use this to enhance your lesson on fuel cells or alternative energy.
