Expose your students to the car of the future with this fun and innovative science kit. Made from durable, high quality components, the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Model Car provides a working demonstration of a fuel cell using hydrogen generated from solar energy.
Classroom use:
The robust design, easy set-up and included experiment guide make this kit a perfect choice for classroom use. Written by teachers for teachers, the experiment guide includes 8 investigations
targeting middle school science curricula. Each investigation includes sections on the theoretical principles of the experiment, a student guide with questions targeting the learning objectives of the experiment, and a teachers guide with hints for the teacher, sample results with interpretation of the experiment and answers to the student questions.

Summary of learning objectives from the 8 experiments:• In electrolysis twice as much gas is produced at the cathode than produced at the anode.
• History surrounding discovery and identification of the two gases hydrogen and oxygen, and the classic tests for identifying each gas.
• Explore how the orientation of solar cells affects electrical energy output.
• That hydrogen fuel can produce an electric current when used in a fuel cell.
• That more hydrogen is consumed when the electric motor does more work.
• To understand the basic scientific principles behind the fuel cell.
• To consider the future implications of changing to a hydrogen-powered economy.Solar moduleDimensions (L x W x H): 23/4” x 43/4” x 2” (70 x 120 x 52 mm)
