STEM Careers Coalition: Distillation of Crude Oil (DLB)
STEM Careers Coalition: Distillation of Crude Oil (DLB)
How important is the process of oil distillation in our everyday lives?
Students use the design engineering process and build their own mixtures to better understand the process of distillation. They will synthesize information to determine relationships between hydrocarbon size, boiling points, and final petroleum products made through the distillation of crude oil.
Middle School: Grades 6–8
