Development and Application of Teaching Material on Fuel Cell

The purpose of this research is to develop teaching materials on fuel cells and to apply them for a lesson on the electric and electronics field in the technology education of junior high school. The teaching material on the fuel cell with hydrogen gas fed from the electrolysis system by the electric energy of dry cell or solar cell was developed. The OHP sheets as the teaching materials to explain the features and applications of fuel cells were also developed. The lesson was tried to third grade students at the Horigane junior high school. It was found that the teaching material and the lesson were effective to make students good understanding of the features and the necessity of fuel cells as future electric energy system
