Oil Spill Science Fair Project

Part 3 of 3: [Brainstorm why an oil spill is bad for the environment. Pour 2-4 tablespoons of cooking oil into a container of water. Students will test the effectiveness of cotton balls, paper towels, q-tips rubber bands, spoons, and dish soap in cleaning up an oil spill.] Note this is an analogy, cooking oil is an agricultural product, not derived from petroleum. [Discuss immediate and long-term impacts of petroleum use.] (Based on grade 5 and 8 Ontario Science and Technology curriculum)
