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...

If you use this as an outline for your chemistry lecture on metals, your young chemists will absorb a well-rounded overview. This is not a worksheet per se, but a useful summary of the behavior of metals. Save yourself some planning and...

Young scholars produce copper metal by electrolysis. In this REDOX lesson plan, students use a copper (II) chloride solution and a 9 volt battery to produce copper metal through an electrolysis reaction. Young scholars make observations...

In this chemistry worksheet, students determine the number of water molecules is a given volume of water. Students determine the empirical formula for given compounds from the percentage mass of elements. This worksheet has 20 problems...

Students collaborate in an experiment where they decompose water into simpler substances through the process of electrolysis. They collect, measure, and observe data and then place the data into a table. Accomodations for students with...

Svante Arrhenius was born in Vik, Sweden, and became the first native of that country to win the Nobel Prize. The award for chemistry was bestowed to him in honor of his theory of electrolytic dissociation. Arrhenius also developed the...

Humphry Davy was a pioneer in the field of electrochemistry who used electrolysis to isolate many elements from the compounds in which they occur naturally. Electrolysis is the process by which an electrolyte is altered or decomposed via...

The New Mexico Solar Energy Association provides an article entitled, "Electrolysis: obtaining hydrogen from water - the basis for a solar-hydrogen economy". The article is medium size in length with pictures and charts throughout to help.
