I aily, millions of gallons of oil are transported across our waterways. Despite shipper’s best efforts, accidents do occur. Use a model to predict the “Size of an Oil Spill.” Learn about the many variables that affect the size of a spill. In “Simulating Oil Slicks” apply your knowledge of experimentation to both hands-on and computer-based experiments. Learn to interpret “ESI Maps” and use the information to infer which organisms might be impacted by a spill. In "Oil and Living Organisms" learn about the potential impact of oil on many organisms that live in the bay.
