Students explored the effects of oil spills on birds using vegetable oil, black food coloring and water. First, by mixing water and black oil together students observed how oil rises to the top of water because it is lighter than water. The oil mixed with water also caused clumps a
nd globs toform making a realistic oil spill difficult to clean. Students dipped clean bird feathers into the oil simulationto observe what happens to real bird feathers in an oil spill.
