Oil Spill Clean Up Challenge STEAM PBL
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 oil spill in a classroom set-up test site, including oil that has been spilled in the water and onto marine “animals” (represented by feathers). Afterwards, reflect on how human consumption of limited resources impacts the biosphere, namely oil spills, in order to construct and support an argumentative writing piece.
