Electrolysis of water is a big thing, requiring a lot of power.
In electrolysis, a strong electric current is run through water to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen atoms. This is how the stuff in the big tank on the shuttle is made,
The first link explains how to do it for an experiment.
The second link is wikipedia's explanation of electrolysis

While not exactly what you asked for, the following link shows a classic "electrolysis" experiment.
Adding just about ANY electrolyte (even salt) will "speed up" the process. I wouldn't go with sulfuric acid in class myself....
