A Breath of Fresh AirLesson Info
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
The lab activity A Breath of Fresh AirRequires one 90-minute class period or two 50-minute class periods. Day 1: Go through the background information with
students, have them answer the pre-lab questions and have them set up for the lab.
Day 2: Have students complete the lab and the analysis questions.

Class Time Required
Class Time RequiredThe FRQ Oxygen Generator System
Requires 45 – 60 minutes, part of which could be assigned for homework.• Can be used as a follow-up assessment for the lab
activity at the end of the unit or even shortly before the AP exam to remind students of the learning.
• Can also be used as a stand-alone activity for those who do not have the required technology to run the lab.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
Technology UsedThe lab activity A Breath of Fresh Air
Requires the use of TI-Nspire technology. Each lab station will need at least one TI-Nspirehandheld with a Vernier Easylink cable, VernierCurrent probe and DC source.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
The FRQ Oxygen Generator System Requires only the use of a standard calculator.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
Technology Used
Equipment Used for Lab• TI-Nspire Handheld, Vernier Current
Probe, Vernier EasyLink• Electrolysis Apparatus - can use a hofman
tube or two graduated gas tubes and electrodes in a beaker
• Three wires with alligator clips• 9-12 V DC power source (< 0.5
amperage)

Chemicals Used for LabPotassium HydroxideEach lab station will need to create 100mL of 3% KOH solution by dissolving 3g of KOH in 97g of water.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
Safety Precautions• Students should wear safety goggles and
aprons. • Students should avoid physical contact with
potassium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide is a toxic, corrosive material that causes severe burns to skin, eyes, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Refer to MSDS sheet when using this material with your students.
• Students should avoid contact with any bare metal in the electrical circuit.

Pre-Lab Questions and Lab Set-Up
• Open tns file on handhelds • Complete pre-lab questions• Set-up lab• If 60-minute class or shorter, this is a good
stopping point.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
Pre-Lab Questions• Students will open tns file that you have
distributed to their TI-Nspire handhelds.• Students then complete pre-lab questions.• Students can answer all questions using
their handhelds or they may answer the questions on the provided student edition.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
Lab Set-Up• Once students are finished with pre-lab
questions, they can then set-up their lab station.
• Project lab set-up diagram and walk through the set-up with the students.
• If 60-minute class or shorter, this is a good stopping point.

Lab Activity• As students work on the lab, encourage discussion
on what is happening.• Some questioning you might ask as you monitor:
Which one is oxygen? Which one is hydrogen? Which electrode is positive lead, which is negative?
• Once students have collected the data from the lab, they can work with their partners on the analysis section.
• Although one handheld was used for collection, all students in each group use their handhelds to complete the assignment.
NASAExplorerSchools
Electrolysis of Water: Breath of Fresh Air
Wrap-up of Lab• Discuss learning that occurred from the
experience• Reinforce the NASA connection• Discuss possible reasons for error• Discuss any interdisciplinary connections

TI Science Nspired• TI Nspire is a handheld that can contain documents with
data collection, simulations, assessment, and yes, calculator functionality.
• TI Nspire is also software that can be used in the same way as the handheld but also for writing reports from the data gathered.
• Activities for TI-Nspire can be found in two different locations. (NASA and TI)
• Activities are available for chemistry, physics, and biology as well as all math topics.
