Hi mandam96,

I don't know the details of your situation, but maybe part of the challenge you are having is that your teacher doesn't understand the question you are trying to answer or your hypothesis. Have you written out your question and hypothesis and shared them with your teacher?

Or, maybe your teacher doesn’t understand what the independent and dependent variables are in this project? The independent variable (what you change) is the presence/absence of catalyst. The dependent variable (what changes in response to the independent variable) is the voltage you measure.

Personally, I don't think it's necessary to try to quantify the amount of hydrogen gas being released. But, that's just my opinion. Ultimately, your teacher has to OK the project. If you've written down your question, hypothesis, and variables and turned them into your teacher and you still aren't seeing eye to eye on this, post back with your teacher’s specific concerns and we'll help you from there.
All the best,
Terik
