Oil and Water Don’t Mix: Engineering a Solution to Clean Up an Oil Spill
Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model. They will use their observations to test out different materials to clean up the oil and put multiple materials together to clean up the oil in the habitat model. This unit includes four lessons with an accommodation for two lessons of time does not permit.
