Oil Spill

In this experiment, we're creating a make-believe mess to learn about a serious problem called an oil spill. We use simple things like oil, a shiny metal pan, and feathers to show what happens when oil gets into the water, like in the ocean. The pan represents the water, and the feathers are like animals in the water, such as birds or fish.

Now, we try to clean up our pretend mess using tools like soap, cotton balls, and sticks. These tools act like the things scientists and engineers use to clean up real Oil Spill. We become like cleanup engineers, testing different ways to fix the mess. Maybe we use soap to break down the oil, sticks to make barriers, or cotton balls to soak up the oil.

After the Oil Spill experiment, we talk about how hard it is to clean up a real oil spill and why it's so important to take care of our environment. This activity helps us understand the challenges of protecting nature and why finding solutions is crucial. It's like going on a mini science adventure to learn about helping the Earth when things go wrong.
