I read this book by Melvin Berger. It's a great resource and explains very clearly what happens and what people do to save the animals.





Then we did our own oil spill experiment where we had to figure out what the best tool would be to remove oil from water.
We used: cotton balls, Popsicle sticks, Q-tips, paper towels, eye droppers, rocks

We started off by making a prediction about what would work BEST to clean the oil spill, and we kept a chart of our data.
