Oil-Eating Bacteria—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
The EPA reports over 14,000 oil spills a year. One method used to clean up an oil spill is to use oil-eating bacteria. That’s right, the oil- eating bacteria consume oil as food. As the bacteria reproduce, they eat more and more oil until finally the slick vanishes. Once the slick is gone, their food source is depleted and the bacteria die, leaving literally nothing behind. Your students will start by creating mini oil slicks and oily beaches. After applying the oil-eating bacteria, they can witness the action of the bacteria on the oily surfaces over a period of time and further realize how difficult it is to clean up an oil spill. This activity will definitely arouse students’ interest and further their interest in envi- ronmental studies. Includes comprehensive instructions, a reproducible student worksheet and valuable Instructor’s Notes with sample data and teaching tips.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

TE1M1.55
A comprehensive kit designed to introduce the basic concepts of water
pollution testing. Students test and measure 7 key water quality test
factors, including dissolved oxygen, chlorine, pH, nitrate–nitrogen,
phosphate, ammonia–nitrogen and temperature. Factors are tested
comparator colorimetric method. Includes enough reagents to perform
50 tests for each factor and all the necessary apparatus and testing
materials. The entire kit is conveniently housed in a durable, industrial-
grade fabric tote that features a rubber bottom, top and side handles, a
removable shoulder strap, and convenient outside pockets. Each test
module is supplied in its own case. Three water quality handbooks,
