Experiment

Here's an experiment in progress on oil spills.

 

The kids learned about how oil moves and slicks in water, how it coats feathers to keep birds from flying, and that it is hard to absorb without taking water with it.

 

I was pretty impressed with their observations, actually. And kind of amused at their suggestions for cleaning up spills. "Giant sponges!" "We need to suck it up with a floating vacuum!" "Oil-repelling enzymes!"
