Oil Spill Junior Kits

With this oil spill kit, budding environmental engineers join efforts to identify physical and chemical properties of oil and discover how real-world scientists approach oil spill disasters. Students pair up to create their own oil spill models and use them to simulate basic oil containment and removal practices. Then they use the scientific method to ask questions, plan investigations, interpret data, and learn by trial and error. Hands-on activities require 4-6 hours to complete. Class Kit includes full-color instructor's manual, reproducible worksheets for differentiated learning, and experiment materials. Refill kit includes all non-reusable experiment materials to replenish Class Kit for further experimentation. Full contents lists below. Accommodates 32 students. Recommended for Elementary.
