What impact does an oil spill have on plants and animals? Learn more by trying to clean up your own \u201coil spill\u201d with this easy, hands-on activity.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>This easy science experiment uses dish soap to show the process of \u201cemulsification.\u201d This is when two liquids that normally separate mix together. The purpose of this experiment is to show why you need an emulsifying agent to remove oil from a bird\u2019s feathers (or our oceans).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>Folgendes ben\u00f6tigen Sie:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-list core-list\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wasser<\/li><li>An empty plastic bottle<\/li><li>Cooking oil<\/li><li>Natural food coloring<\/li><li>Dish soap<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll do (and learn):<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>Fill your plastic bottle about halfway with water. Next, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and watch what happens to the water. What do you notice?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>Water is denser than oil, which causes the two liquids to separate and the oil to rise to the top. Now, add a few drops of natural food coloring and watch what happens. Take notes on your observations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>Now, add 2 tablespoons of dish soap. This will act as an emulsifier by breaking down the oil and allowing it to mix with the water. Do you see how the food coloring tints the water to be the same color? What do you notice about the oil this time?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>That\u2019s right! The oil no longer rises to the top. This means that the dish soap did its job as an emulsifying agent, allowing the water and oil to mix together. When this happens, the oil is broken up into smaller droplets, making it easier to move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>When an oil spill occurs in the ocean, response teams use a similar approach for cleaning it up. Oftentimes, a small boat or plane is used to release chemical dispersants into the water that act as emulsifying agents. Much like the dish soap in this experiment, these chemicals break down the oil into smaller and less harmful compounds. Micro-organisms in the water then eat them and break them down into even less harmful compounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-heading core-heading\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dirty air<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress- core-\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"container mx-auto   wordpress-block wordpress-paragraph core-paragraph\">\n<p>Look around you.
