Oil Spill Cleanup

Program Information

Ocean life is beautiful, but oil spills can pose a threat to these awesome ecosystems! Explain oil spills and their effects on the ecosystem, or read a picture book on the subject. For older children, you can talk about historical
spills, such as Exxon Valdez (1989), Deep Water Horizon (BP) (2010). These two hands-on experiments—birds and oil spills, and oil removal— help to explain why oil spills are so damaging to the environment, and why they are so difficult to clean up. Each experiment can be done individually or as a group.

Suggested runtime: 60 minutes.
