Depending on the access to the Internet and classroom
computers, a teacher can engage students with
the global oil spill disaster exercise through a variety
of instructional methods. Although the exercise
is designed at a middle school level, the questions
and writing prompts can easily be adjusted to a high
school audience. If completed in class, the activity
will take approximately two class periods. The Google
Earth file needed for the exercise can be downloaded
from http://tinyurl.com/earthspacequestk12. The answer
key for the exercise can be obtained by emailing
