Earth Day Ocean Clean Up
by Tonya Page
In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized receipt. Then, students write a multi-paragraph passage communicating their oil spill cleanup experience, struggles and man-made effects on the environment. This real-world problem-solving lesson allows students to develop a deeper understanding of issues that impact wildlife and how to create solutions.
