Conclusion
In conclusion, my hypothesis was technically not supported as I was 3% off the results. Cleaning up oil spills was tricky enough doing it in a classroom and I could only image what it's like trying to contain thousands of square kilometers of ocean when there is one. Being able to observe and witness what it must be like; making calculations, predicting, and actually getting your hands dirty in oil, made me wonder how lucky I am not to have had experience a real crude oil spill.
