Conclusion
In conclusion our hypothesis was not supported. Our hypothesis stated that 90% of the oil would be contained and 75% would be absorbed. Our data proved that 95% of the oil was absorbed and 93% was contained. This was because some of the oil that was not contained could be scooped up by the spoon in the middle of the basin. My project proved that oil spills are a serious concern as they have many major negative effects on the environment and are very hard and tenuous to clean up.
