Description
Science kit for kids
Students are tasked with designing and fabricating a car that is powered by H2. First, they will sketch out their ideas on paper in order to help them come up with a plan of how they want to design their vehicle.
Next, they will need to source materials that are strong enough to hold the components of the fuel cell system, but light enough to allow the car to travel as far as possible. Finally, they will build their prototype and test it!
