In this lab, students are introduced to some of the major impacts of climate change and presented with a way to lessen its effects. They will learn how engineers can help to decarbonize the world economy and what role green hydrogen can play. Students will apply chemistry techniques to build an electrolysis cell in order to produce their own green hydrogen.
Students will:
- Analyze real-world problems and use critical thinking skills in order to solve them
- Work through and understand the engineering design process
- Produce green hydrogen by building an electrolysis cell
- Collect and analyze data
