Oil Spill

Today we discussed the oil spill in the gulf and I had the students develop some possible solutions. Here is what they came up with:

I think they should close up the ocean and open an aquarium for the fish

Scientists make some kind of cure to put in the water

Burn the oil

Fix the pipe

They can put on a underwater suit and go underwater and get the pipe and fix it before it pollutes the water. (Can we say "run on sentence"?)

Take the pipe out before it pollutes the water

They can put a glass on it and clog it up and the oil can stop coming out.

They could go underwater and put a big pipe and connect it to the ground and suck up the oil and put it back in the ground

Plug it up

Try to cover up the whole (as written) with a top and try to fix it

Block the oil leak and pay them money. <--- I'm sure BP would love that solution!!
