My students came into class, ready to act as environmental specialists, researching an oil spill in the Atlantic Ocean and best ways to clean up the oil spill and protect wildlife. They researched the Deep Horizon Oil Spill and worked to clean up their own “oil spills” in small groups. They figured out why oil is a nonrenewable resource and the effects of it, when used correctly and any harmful effects on our environment.
What a learning day!
