Oil Spill Experiment!

Earth day is this month and the Playroom is learning how to take care of our planet! We are learning about recycling, our environment, and we are even learning about oil spills! After watching videos on what the most recent oil spill did to our environment we did a hands on activity to understand what oil is and how the animals were able to be cleaned.

The children were given little yellow fuss balls to represent ducks. There were thrown into the oil spilled water and then we were to clean the ducks. The children thought they would be able to clean them with water, but sooned realized that wouldn't work. The children learned how harmful the oil is to the animals and that Dawn dish detergent was the best source for cleaning the animals. We closed the activity by watching videos of the animals that were saved and the process they went through.
