In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.
