Electrolysis of water is demonstrated using a handheld microfluidic that can be fabricated for $5 per reusable device.  This activity allows students to perform the electrolysis experiments individually, which provides a personalized learning experience in the classroom.  The design of the device is straightforward so fabrication can be performed by the teacher or the student.  A learning module has been developed for this activity with an emphasis on electrolysis, stoichiometry, and reduction/oxidation reactions.  The module has been implemented in the classroom and evaluated.
