| Description | Student teams create their own oil spills, try different methods for cleaning them up, and then discuss the merits of the methods in terms of effectiveness (cleanliness) and cost. This hands-on experiment provides students with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup. Student teams create their own oil spills, try different methods for cleaning them up, and then discuss the merits of each method in terms of effectiveness (cleanliness) and cost. They are asked to put themselves in the place of both environmental engineers and oil company owners who are responsible for the cleanup. |
