As the world tries to figure out how to fix the oil spill, our own How Things Work campers tried to figure out how to fix their own oil spill.
On trays with faux beaches, the campers had oil added to their water and had to figure out what was the most effective way to stop the oil from spreading.
Starting out with buoys and moving onto other spill preventers, these campers tested various ways to stop the oil from spreading.
We haven't heard back on the best technique, but as soon as we do we'll let you know!
