OERB offers free field trips to teachers that have completed one of our Energy Education Workshops and taught the entire age-appropriate curriculum to their class. Fossils to Fuel is a hands-on science curriculum to help students learn about energy sources, geology, density, matter, porosity and sound waves. These eight lessons also teach math concepts like measurements, mass and volume, data organization, decimals and fractions. One of the experiments was to build oil derricks out of straws and tape and see which groups oil derrick could hold the most weight. The winning group was able to hold 460 grams without collapsing. By doing these lessons and this experiment, our class received a free field trip to the Science Museum of Oklahoma.
