K-12 STEM teachers: time to inject some fresh energy into your lessons!
Register for our two day workshop and learn how to incorporate the science of the natural gas and oil industry with hands-on explorations.
During the experience, you’ll:
- Spend the day experiencing the lessons yourselves.
- Embark on a teacher field trip to see the STEM of natural gas and oil production in action.
- Come home with hundreds of dollars of supplies for your classroom.
You’ll get access to over 15 educator-developed STEM activities, plus meaningful assessments. Videos for lesson implementation and career tie-ins go along with the lessons.
STEM activities include:
- Show how natural gas and oil are trapped in porous rocks. Create 2D and 3D rock models to demonstrate porosity and permeability
- Create a model pipeline and pipeline “pig” and apply principles of force, motion, velocity and engineering design
- Design and implement a materials test for different petrochemical-based fabrics
- …and more!
Thanks to a generous grant from Southwestern Energy, you’ll also receive a gift card for attending.
These workshops and materials are provided free of charge to Ohio educators, thanks to Ohio’s natural gas and oil producers!
