Teach Engineering: Clean It Up!

Curated by ACT

Young scholars learn about a special branch of engineering called bioremediation, which is the use of living organisms to aid in the clean-up of pollutant spills. Students learn all about bioremediation and see examples of its importance. In the associated activity, young scholars conduct an experiment and see bioremediation in action!
