Conclusion
This experiment demonstrates the process of cleaning up an oil spill because we had to contain the oil first, just like what
they do with ocean oil spills and we also had to clean it up. The only difference is that governments use more sophisticated tools to contain and absorb the oil. My hypothesis was not supported as not all of the oil was cleaned up, but at minimum 99% of it was. But even if the hypothesis was supported it was still a valid experiment, as the independent variable was the
materials and that was controlled. The dependent variable was controlled, which was the amount of oil absorbed and contained. This was dependent on the independent variable. Finally, all the control and other variables were controlled, like amount of water, amount of oil, temperature of classroom and etc. This is the oil spill lab.
