Following the Engineering Design Process to Clean Up an Oil Spill

Our Earth Systems Unit culminated this week with students following the 'Engineering Design Process' to engineer a solution to 'cleaning up an oil spill'. Students connected what they have learned about ecosystems, materials and tools to help them design a process to clean an oil spill so that it had the least impact on an ecosystem.
