Horizon’s Fuel Cell Car Science Kit is the
perfect way for students to explore key concepts in the physical and earth sciences , all in
an affordable, easy-to-use package. The Fuel Cell Car Science Kit is a working
model of the hydrogen fuel cell cars that are starting to make their way onto streets worldwide. This easily-assembled kit allows students to explore: the chemistry of a fuel cell reaction, the physics behind the forces that act on an electric vehicle, the impact
of a zero emission vehicle on the Earth’s climate, and more! Once assembled, the Fuel Cell Car Science Kit needs only distilled water to run. It makes its own hydrogen by splitting the water molecules using the energy from a solar panel or battery pack, both included with the car.
The hydrogen and oxygen are stored in separate containers on the car itself. The millilitre markings on the fuel tanks allow students to measure how much hydrogen has been produced Now that the tanks are full, running the car is as simple as disconnecting the power source and attaching the fuel cell to the motor.
The fuel cell car will keep running as long as it has hydrogen to power it It will even turn and back up to avoid obstacles. The sturdy plastic body ensures that it can take the wear and tear of student use as well as the occasional collision with a wall. Dual LEDs light up when the motor is connected. Assembling the car is just the beginning. When you purchase a Fuel Cell Car Science Kit from one of Horizon’s exclusive resellers, you’ll receive access to premium curricular materials from horizoncurriculum.com.
Hours of standards-aligned activities for middle and high school students in physics, chemistry, and earth science ensure that students in many different science classes can run experiments with the fuel cell car. For teachers, lesson plans and a full teacher’s guide are included as well. And ready-made differentiation tools, support materials, and access to more than 120 pages of information on renewable energy mean that teachers have an array of resources to help their students succeed. Horizon’s Fuel Cell Car Science Kit puts
the latest in renewable energy technology into the hands of middle and high school students, allowing them to explore concepts in physics, chemistry, and earth science for themselves. Visit horizoneducational.com for more information on this and other great science resources from Horizon..
