Procedure for Experiment A

Procedure for Experiment B
1. Label containers.
2. Make salt water, ocean density. Put 3.5g/100mL of salt in the water
3. Put 400mL of salt water into a container. Have six containers of salt water.
4. Put all six containers into a fridge for at least 30 minutes to have the same temperature.
5. Measure temperature of the water
6. Put 15mL of crude oil in the salt-water mixture using disposable metric spoons.
7. Measure 5g of dog fur and cat fur on electric balance scale.
8. Put the 5g of dog fur balls into nylon casings.
9. Close the nylon casings with elastic bands.
10. Put nylon casings filled hair balls on top of crude oil and let it sit for 15 minutes.
11. Make observations and take pictures on what is happening to the mixture as well as the hair.
12. Pull nylon casings out of water/oil mixture, and let it drip for 20 seconds.
13. Take the hair out of the nylon casings and observe how the hair has absorbed the oil.
14. Take a 1mL metric spoon, and carefully skim the oil off the surface of the water.
15. Continue collecting the oil off the water until there is none left.
16. Measure amount of recovered oil, then subtract that from original amount of oil first put in water to find out how much was absorbed.
17. Repeat steps from 6 to 16 two more times and average out the oil left in the container.
18. Repeat steps 6 to 16 again, but this time using cat fur instead of dog fur.

Procedure for Experiment C
1. Label containers.
2. Make salt water, ocean density. Put 3.5g/100mL of salt in the water
3. Put 400mL of salt water into a container. Have nine containers of salt water.
4. Put three containers in the deep freeze, three containers in the fridge, and three containers in the furnace room for 45 minutes for different temperatures.
5. Measure temperature of the different containers of water.
6. Put 15mL of crude oil in the salt-water mixture using disposable metric spoons.
7. Measure 5g of not dyed human hair on electric balance scale for nine different hairballs.
8. Put the 5g hairballs into nylon casings.
9. Close the nylon casings with elastic bands.
10. Put nylon casings filled hairballs on top of crude oil and let it sit for 15 minutes.
11. Make observations and take pictures on what is happening to the mixture as well as the hair.
12. Pull nylon casings out of water/oil mixture, and let it drip for 20 seconds.
13. Take the hair out of the nylon casings to observe how the hair as absorbed the oil.
14. Take a 1mL metric spoon, and carefully skim the oil off the surface of the water.
15. Continue collecting the oil off the water until there is none left.
16. Measure amount of recovered oil, then subtract that from original amount of oil first put in water to find out how much was absorbed.
17. Repeat steps from 6 to 16 two more times and average out the oil left in the container.
18. Repeat steps 6 to 16 again, but this time using different containers that were kept in different temperatures.
