| Description: | |
| Investigate common oils found in the home. Classify them as petroleum or non-petroleum oils. Determine physical characteristics of the oils, sources, uses and environmental impact. Go on an “Oil Patrol” around your home or garage and see how many oils you can find. Extend your learning by investigating Virginia agricultural products that produce oils, our dwindling petroleum resources, and alternatives for the future. Assess your learning with a 5-item quiz. | |
