Oil Spill Solutions

Description:

The "Oil Spill Solution" lesson explores how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill. Students work in teams of "engineers" to develop a system to contain and then remove oil from a classroom "spill." Teams decide on which materials they will use and how they will isolate the oil from the water. They then execute their plan with everyday materials, evaluate their results, observe the results of other student "engineering" teams, and present findings to the class.
