Today, most of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels, which are nonrenewable

resources that pollute our air and land. Hydrogen is a great renewable fuel that
can be made from water. Most of the water on Earth is saltwater. In this article,
scientists created a device that can make hydrogen from saltwater at a low cost. It
combines the process of osmosis with the reaction of water splitting.

The article is suitable for middle school and lower high school students.

This article comes with a detailed lesson plan on renewable energy, fuel cell, and
reverse osmosis. The lesson is designed for 8-9th grade students, contains 3
modifiable handouts and a slide show. It requires a minimum of 4 class periods to
complete with possible extensions for up to 5 additional class periods.
