Task Details

In this task, you will work in groups to research different oil spill cleanup methods and analyze how the scientific concept of
density is used to develop effective solutions for addressing oil spills. The goal is to understand how the density difference
between oil and water influences the design of cleanup techniques and assess the effectiveness of each method using a SWOT
analysis.

Task Requirements:

1. Individual Research and Analysis:

◦ Research the different oil spill cleanup methods listed below:


▪ Skimmers
▪ Booms
▪ Dispersants
▪ Bioremediation
▪ Sorbents
▪ Controlled Burning

2. SWOT Analysis:

◦ Complete a SWOT Analysis Tablefor each cleanup method:


▪ Strengths: Why is this method effective? How does it take advantage of the density of oil vs.
water?
▪ Weaknesses: What are the limitations or challenges? (e.g., cost, environmental impact,
practicality)
▪ Opportunities: Are there ways to improve this method? What innovations might be explored in
the future?
▪ Threats: What external factors could impact the success of this method? (e.g., changing weather,
scale of spill, public perception)

3. Written Appraisal:

◦ After completing your research and SWOT analyses, write a 150-200 word individual appraisal in response
to the following prompts:
▪ Which oil spill cleanup method do you think is most effective and why?
▪ How does an understanding of the concept of density contribute to the success of this method?
▪ What improvements or alternatives would you suggest for the method you selected?

Task Resources:

To support your research, use the following resources:
