https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x Based on what you've learned in class, describe ways scientists/engineers contain or clean up oil spills. Give examples of effective and ineffective methods and explain why they work or don't work. en-us 2017-05-01 18:24:06 UTC 2017-05-02 15:12:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435264 One way that scientists clean up oil spills by using three different methods such as using the cap way which is where they take a tank and put a cap on it to keep the oil in the tank but the bad part about that is that when the tank is full the oil spills back out. Another way was called squishing which is where they put cement in the tube where the oil goes so the oil does not get out. The last way was repairing it what they did was tried to fix it I think that is an ineffective way because they really did not know how they were going to repair it. The most effective I think was the squishing way because the oil would not spill.
 I also learned that they use a lot of different ways to try to use different materials I think the best way that worked the best is the felt or the sponge. My group got most of the oil it was really fun.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435264 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435279 Some ways scientists contain oil spills is capping. This is where you take a cap and keep it on the oil and it sucks it up to clean it and get it out of the ocean. There also is squashing it stops the ol so it won't go into the ocean. The last way is repairing it takes a long time and it will still be making a mess. They can also make a dome so oil spills don't happen that much. The steps to fixing the oil spills are 1. Ask 2.Imagine 3.Plan 4.Create 5.improve. Also Tehya his pled clean up an oil spill and took pictures of the oil spill. A fact is oil spills are harder to clean up than they look.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435279 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435292 There are many methods used to contain oil spills. One way that scientists contain or clean up oil spills is capping it. This way is both effective and ineffective because it only works temporarily.  The next way is squishing which is effective because it stops the oil from making a huge mess. The last way is repairing which is ineffective because it takes a long time to repair and during that long period of time, the oil will still be making a mess. Also, when we watched Mr. Kramer's class I learned multiple things. The first thing I learned I learned was that an engineer is a person that uses their knowledge of science and math to make inventions that help the world. Second, I learned that the steps to create an experiment are ask, imagine, plan, create, and improve. Lastly, I learned that oil is less dense than water, so it will float when it spills.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435292 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435355   One way that sicientists contain or clean up oil spills is the Cap it method. It will suck up the oil in a tube, and take it out of the ocean.  This is boath effective and ineffective because it only works temporaly. The next one is the Squash it method. It is effective but it will take months to make. people should do cap it and squash it at the same time. That way, while they do the caping, they can biuld the squash it. I learned the Engeniring proses witch is,
ONE: ASK
TWO: IMAGIAN
THREE: PLAN
FOUR: CREATE
FIVE: IMPROVE
Wile watching mr. Kramers class, I learned that we can first, an engeneer is a person that can use their knolage to help the world. second, i learned that oil spills are verry bad for the envierment, and that we can help the planet by the methods we know. WE WILL helt the ocean!

were they send robots to try and fix the problem.
Two, "Cap It" 
were they send a tube down to suck up the oil.
Three, "Squash It"
were they drill a tunnel down to the oil spill and spew concreate into that place.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435405 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435410 One way that scientists fix oil spills is when they try to repair it. They also try to put a cap on the busted pipe. The last way that they try to fix oil spills is when the squash it. I would say that repairing is the most ineffective way because where they would try to fix it was already broken. I would say that the two most effective ways would be capping and squashing. Since squashing takes a couple of months to complete, we could do the capping method while the squashing method was being completed. Some other methods that Mr Kramer's class did where to use a rubber band to enclose it, use felt to remove the oil, and nylon also to remove the oil. However, they wanted to improve it by use more sponges and they also wanted to use a bucket to scoop the oil out. ]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435410 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435415 a few ways that are effective to stop oil spills are capping and repairing. You first should try to repair it if it can be repaired instead of destroying it. Capping is because you can make a big strong one to stop all of the oil. Squashing is effective, but super slow. always do squashing last. When your cleaning up an oil spill, you have to use the engineer plan. Ask,Imagine,Plan,Create,Improve. Ask the question. Imagine the solution. Plan the solution. create the solution. Improve the solution.

This way works but the cap can only last temporary because a lot of pressure would build up and break the cap which would cause another oil spill. Another way is to build a fence or a wall around the oil spill so then they can work on the pipe and fix it, but making a whole new well would take months so then oil would keep spilling. Another way is to send robots to the floor of the ocean and try to fix the problem this would save lives of people because people can on,y swim 1000 feet below water and the oil spill is 5000 feet below. Oil spills will hurt animals and the environment thus is why we need to stop oil spills.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435426 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435433 One way that scientist can clean up oil spills is by doing cap it because it will hold most of the oil,but one  thing that will affect the caping is that it will just blow off or explode off. Or they can make something that will trap the oil then they can clean it up. Oil is less tense than water,so it means that it can float on water. ]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435433 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435462 There are many ways that scientists can contain or clean up oil spills. One is to repair it. They do this by robots. This way is ineffective because the robots could not do it. Another way is capping it. How they do this is they put a cap on where the spill is and the oil goes up a tube and goes into a tank. This way is both affective and ineffective. It is affective because it does clean up the spill, but it is ineffective because when it cleans up the spill it doesn't clean it all up. Also because when the tank gets filled up it will  no longer be cleaning the spill up it may actually be making it worse because when the tank does get filled the cap may come off and more oil will come out. The last way is to squash it. This way is affective because it works, but it takes months to complete. In Mr.Kramers class I leaned that it takes a very long time to clean up oil spills. Another thing I learned is that oil spills harm animals and humans badly. The last thing I learned is that you clean up oil spills with many things and some of them work and some of them don't.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435462 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435560 Scientists and engineers can contain oil spills by building some type of dome to contain oil spills underwater, but it would take a while to build and the oil could spread across the ocean. Another way is to Build tubes that make the oil go into large containers to contain the oil, but if a scientist/engineer forgets to change the container the oil spill could spread. You can enclose oil with a giant rubber band, giant felt, and giant Nylon. You will still have a little oil left over though. A Native American named Taya used a broom to sweep up oil. You can also use a giant sponge to clean up oil, but like the felt idea there will still be a little oil left over. Oil is harder to clean up than it looks. Scientists/engineers use the ENGINEER strategy

One way is to "cap it", this way is temporary. A permanent way to clean up oil spills is to "squash it" this is a last conclusion because it will take a few months and the oil will get out while building it. Also, you need a way to clean up the oil spill without taking out much water. Plus, oil spills can harm animals and humans very badly. Even if it takes a few stratigeys to clean up oil spills, well at least you are cleaning it up.]]> 2017-05-02 14:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435636 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435735 3 ways that scientists/ engineers contain oil spills are Repairing the the damage that the oil spill has, but it might be beyond repaired,   the second way is to cap it, capping  the oil spill will have a little effect on the spill, but  if the ship is full or the cap falls off, the oil will still go back into the ocean, the final way is to squash it, that  means that robots go to the bottom of the ocean to fix the pipe, but it can take months to repair, but if  all of the ideas don work, they will have to try again, they will never ever give up. Oil spills can hurt a big environment and a small one. It can take years to clean up all the oil with a cap,but the sea will still be covered with oil. Oil is lighter, than the sea,so that means that the oil will spread longer distances because oil can spread all the way to a beach on the gulf of Mexico,if we didn't have people to clean up the spill, the oil will spread all over the world, that why people have ideas to clean up the oil spill.]]> 2017-05-02 14:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435735 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435745 Scientist  and biologist contain oil spills by caping it, caping an oil spill is using tubes to collect it.
A ineffective way is using repair becuase by the time the robots get to the machine it is completely damaged or destroyed. Even though I explained one idea you can use multiple ideas to clean the oil spill. Oil spills don't just effect marine life it also effects us, it effects us because some of people have jobs for catching fish and when there is a oil spill it kills fish so they lose their jobs. another reason oil spills effect us is because we eat fish and when the fish die we cant eat the them.

If they cant repair it they can cap the oil spill until the cap will fall off.  Then they can squash it. Squashing it can be messy and it can take a long time so you always want to do it lastly. There are a lot of diffrent ways to clean up oul spills. Tena helped clean up oil spills in her community.]]> 2017-05-02 14:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435753 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435813 sientists ''squash it'' by makeing a well to hold all the oil witch is  efetive inafective blocking it off with a cap and a pipe to get oil but if the contaner is not big enough than it is bad cuse the oil will burst the cap off if the coinatner is full but a very evective would cap it useing robots and have multipul pipes whall the oil is going through you would be squashing it. oil is les denes than water.oil can kill a whole ecosystem. cloth and coffe filter and serenge works good to clens the oil.

Repair it is when they tried to repair it but failed. Cap it is when they put this tube on it and the oil when into a truck but it only worked for a little bit. Squish it is when they made a tunnel to somewhere else then sealed the spill. Squish it is probably the best way to fix it, but it takes a month to make the tunnel and everything. They should do Cap it while there also doing the Squish it. What I learned in Kramers classroom is that oil spills are hard to clean up, the engineering process  is
1. Ask

5. Improve
lastly, it very tedious to clean up oil spills.]]> 2017-05-02 14:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435859 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435883 Scientists could of used a hybrid of ideas, like the cap and squash idea. They could of used them together to get the job done more efficiently. They could of used many caps so then they could get more oil out of the ocean quicker. Although, it wouldn't be the most efficient or effective way because eventually you will need many of themto  be efficient, and once the job is done, its to be hard to transport them to an oil rig because there are so many of them. Multiplying will not work. An engineer is a person who is creative and creates a process to solve a problem. The engineer  thinking process is ask, amagine, plan, create, improve.

This would help by containing the oil and keeping it from spreading. They could then get the oil from the spot and then continue cleaning up the mess all around.
Also to prevent oil spills from hurting marine life they can build a fence around all the oil rigs so when an oil spill happens it is already contained. It would be pretty simple really. It might take some money but they will be able to do it.  Also robots could do an analysis every day to keep all the oil rigs in check so if they see a problem they can alert the people there and fix the problem. We could us the engineering process to figure out an effective fence to stop the oil from getting out. It would help them greatly. Next, we could us a something to suck up all the oil that got away and keep the marine life safe. Finally, we could "slurp it" all up to keep it from getting away.]]> 2017-05-02 14:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169435986 https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169436307 One way that scientist contain or in other words clean up oil spills is capping it. This is effective but, is only temporary and we want something that is effective and permanent. Another way is squashing it. This way is very effective and efficient but, it takes months to complete and that's risky and dangerous because in the time that they are building, oil will leak out in to the ocean. This whole process is dangerous for the ecosystem and people. 
After the presentations I learned that the nylon was the best solution out of the three. I also learned that when scientist attempt to clean up the oil they also get a lot of water, which kills sea life. The thing that was really cool was after they'd cleaned up the oil they used paper to show how much oil was still in the water. This shows me that oil spills affect the ecosystems in many ways, and not just oil.]]> 2017-05-02 14:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bbergstrom/4wwn8mtk597x/wish/169436307
