[edit] Benchmarks, Standards, Content or Concepts

Students will investigate the process by which oil and gas forms, migrates and is trapped in rock, and how through exploration, drilling and production, refining process the number and variety of products that are produced from oil and gas.

[edit] Ways to incorporate different teaching methods

  • Lecture
Teacher will present the power point presentation fom OOGEEP Roadmap of Natural Gas and Crude Oil.
  • Reading
Students will read various selections from Oil and Natural Gas and handouts: The Geological Structure of Ohio from http://landsat.ohiolink.edu/EBooks/OSU/ReportGeologicalSurvey/Vol1Pt1_CH4.pdf Printout from http://science.howstuffworks.com/oil.-drilling.htm/printable on How Oil Drilling Works. Sheet on Where Oil is Found? And Petroleum Exploration Handout
  • Audio-visual
Audio from Ohio Department of Natural Resources on Fossil Fuels. OOGEEP. Org Educational Roadmap of Oil and Natural Gas videos.
  • Demonstration
The teacher will demonstrate how oil is under pressure underground and will flow upward without much assistance by shaking a bottle of carbonated soda and releasing the lid.
  • Discussion
Students will research and discuss new drilling metods used in discovering oil in the Marcellus Shale and the effect the reserves could have on oil and gas production and prices. What would be the environmental footprint? What effect would these reserves have on our dependence on foreign oil?
  • Practice by doing
Students wil be put into groups by the teacher based on mixed abilities. Teacher will assign each group to one of the following topics:
1. Formation- Students will explore oil and gas formation through reading and experimentaton. Students wil complete the experiment on Biotic Materials: Making Crude Oil found in Oil & Gas Energy Education Science Teacher Workshop Manual.
2. Migration and Trapping- Students will explore how oil and gas migrates and is trapped by rock formations. Students will discover that some rocks are porous and permeable. Students will complete the experiment on Rocks that Trap Gas found at http://www.pge.com/microsit/safet_esw_ngsw/ngsw/guide/index.html and Getting Physical with Oil Experiment found in Oil & Gas Energy Education Science Teacher Workshop Manual.
3. Exploration: Students will explore the current technology used to explore for oil and gas. Students will explore the use of satellite technology and seismic data to uncover oil and gas reservoirs. Students will discuss which method is more economically feasible. Students will read the handout on Petroleum Exploration. Students will construct a contour map using the Seismic Activity (Materials and Procedure found in OOGEEP binder.)
4. Drilling and Production – Students will discover how once oil is found it is brought to the surface. Students will complete Primary Recovery Lab form. http://www.energy4me.org/download/classroom/PumpitUp_000.pdf
5. Refning- Students will understand the process of refining and why it is necessary. Students will discover how heating oil produces different petroleum products. Students will complete Tower of Power experiment found in the OOGEEP binder.
6. Products – Students will discover the diversity of products made from crude oil. Students will use the list Which of These Common Petroleum Products do you have? and complete a list of what products are found in the classroom and make another list of all the items found in their homes.
  • Teach Others
After groups complete experiments and write lab reports each will present and teach the other groups about their topic.

[edit] 21st Century Skills

Students will collaborate and create a webquest each group will contribute based on their research and experiments.

[edit] Graphic Organizers

Students will complete a graphic organizer, map, or foldable on the group topic to be completed by all during the peer teaching segment to be placed in their interactive notebook.

[edit] Field Trip/Speaker

Students will travel to Bridgeport, Ohio, to tour the deepest oil well to date in Ohio. Possible speakers Rhonda Reda, OOGEEP Executive Director or Sarah Tipka, OOGEEP Education Committee Chair.

[edit] Performance

Aftr visiting the oil well in Bridgeport, Ohio, students will refect on the role Ohio plays in the production of oil and gas and should Ohio aggressively pursue technology to tap reserves in the Marcelus Shale
