OIL SPILL CLEANUP: BIOLOGICAL VS. PHYSICAL

  • In this activity, students will compare two methods of oil spill cleanup: biological and physical.
  • Applying both a special blend of oil degrading microbes and a hydrocarbon encapsulating polymer to oil and examining the results, students will draw conclusions with regard to the effectiveness of each approach.
  • The kit includes a specially prepared stained vegetable oil to simulate crude oil, eliminating any of the hazards and associated disposal costs of the real thing while still allowing the students to perform the procedures using real oil.
  • Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups.
  • Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.

I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
