Can You Please Help Provide Students With Electrochemical Cell Sets?

Help me give my students 7 electrochemical cell porous cup sets so that all lab groups can create "batteries" in electrochemistry experiment Investigations.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are always excited to see experiments involving electricity. It amazes as lights are powered from electricity produced from homemade batteries made from oranges, potatoes, or lemons, as well as from standard chemical "battery" cells. My Chemistry students would benefit from opportunities to create and experiment with electrochemical and electrolytic cell labs.

One of the most fascinating Chemistry experiments students can perform is to create electricity using two different metals immersed in chemical solutions that can actually light a bulb.

By combining copper metal, copper chloride solution, zin metal, and zinc chloride solutions, students can create a standard voltaic cell- the early form of a battery. Students will be able to compare and measure the different voltages produced when different metals are used in the electrochemical cells. During electrolysis, electricity causes a chemical reaction to occur that would not naturally occur spontaneously.

One day in the future, we expect that scientists will finally learn how to power cars, boats, airplanes, with more efficient batteries or with water, as they learn to control this chemical combustion of hydrogen, which will be more economical and will lower the chances of polluting the environment.

This instrument will help General, AP, and Honors students in our public high school to develop critical college prep science skills. Having a live experience is much more meaningful. Any donation will be appreciated.
