Dr FuelCell® Science Kit

The 4-volume instruction material of the Dr FuelCell® Science Kit is designed for the lower and upper secondary level and consists of three experiment volumes and one volume with background information. The experiment volumes cover a broad spectrum of subjects from the physics and chemistry curricula:

• Student assignments for independently conducting experiments both individually and in groups
• Detailed teacher’s guides with instructions for experiments, sample results and interpretations
• Worksheets with short articles and written assignments for independent use in class or at home

The fourth book, “Principles and Applications”, includes articles with background information that can be used independently in classes.

The accompanying CD-ROM includes two videos and two PowerPoint presentations on the principles and applications of fuel cell technology and two experiments with the Dr FuelCell® Science Kit.

Examples of experiments

• Current/voltage characteristic curves of solar panel and fuel cell
• Faraday’s first law
• Electrolysis
• Dependence of solar current on the distance and incident angle of the light source
• Series and parallel connection of solar and fuel cells
• Water = 2 parts hydrogen + 1 part oxygen
