(This experiment can be messy, so you might want to do it outdoors.)
1. Fill a plastic cup with sand and oil and mix it well.
2. Pick some "tools" to work with. You could use a spoon, a straw, paper towel, an old toothbrush, a sponge--anything! You could try to use soap and water to get the oil off the sand.
3. Use your tools to try and clean the oil off of the sand.
Use any funky idea that comes to your head and help save the environment!
