Power from water - How to produce oxygen and hydrogen on the Moon
In this set of three activities from the European Space Agency, students learn about electrochemistry. In the first activity they build a voltaic pile – a simple battery. Students will then study electrolysis, producing hydrogen and oxygen which can be used as propellants for spacecraft and/or to provide oxygen to support a crew. In the final activity, students examine and use a fuel cell.
