The pathways cells used to obtain useable energy are complex and often very difficult for students to comprehend. By beginning our unit on Cells and Energy using Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars, students will get hands-on experience with moving electrons doing work! Students will be excited to see their cars moving without batteries. This process will help students make connections with electrons moving during cellular respiration and photosynthesis. The moving electrons turn the motor which turns the wheels and runs the car. In cellular respiration, the moving electrons activate proton pumps in the mitochondrial membranes and create a concentration gradient leading to the production of ATP later in the process. Moving electrons in photosynthesis also activate proton pumps. Starting with hydrogen fuel cells results in students being able to turn abstract concepts into obtainable understanding. Moving electrons can do work!
