Ecosystem Design + Oil Spill Cleanup
Students are challenged to clean up an oil spill in a river environment. Students create the river environment in a container and add water, plants, sand, and animals. They will spill 1/4 oil into water and using different supplies try to clean-up the oil before it reaches the riverbed. Finally students will discuss how humans can leave a lasting impact on an ecosystem.

Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
