Introduction
Oil spill caused by the corroding tanker could bring environmental disaster. It affects to marine life, health, economics, and so forth. However, it could have been prevented. We need to do this.
Question: What is the main reason of shipwreck?
Why we need to prevent corrosion?
How to protect oil tanker from corrosion?
You are a navy engineer and you need to gather information about the consequences of corrosion of oil tankers, investigate the cause of sinking tanker Erika and propose solution to protect ship from corrosion.

Task
As a ‘Navy Engineer’, task of students:
- Search and collect images of environmental disaster caused by the sinking tanker Erika (images of how the environment is affected, or videos... ) to justify the need to prevent corrosion of ships.
- Investigate, identify and explain the cause of the sinking tanker erika by collating pictures to present the causes of the sinking
- Based on knowledge you have learned in this topic, students propose solution to protect ship from corrosion.
