This six-week curriculum was written with the help of Oklahoma educators and industry experts. Petro Active meets Oklahoma's PASS objectives. and is endorsed by the Oklahoma State Department of Education Educators receive free training, teacher's guide and activity kit. Each class that completes the Petro Active curriculum will receive a free field trip from the OERB to one of five participating museums. Students will see an exciting energy exhibit sponsored by the OERB and be treated to a free energy class at the museum. To acquire the Petro Active curriculum, teachers must attend a day-long training session. The workshops are free, and the OERB reimburses school districts for substitute pay. If a workshop is held on a Saturday or non-school day, the OERB pays a $50 stipend. Educators completing the workshop receive seven (7) Professional Development Hours.

Petro Active's Nine Learning Cycles  Cycle 1: Cooking Up Crude How oil and natural gas are formed.   Cycle 2: Muddy Microbes Soil and water are full of microorganisms that can have a dramatic effect on the decomposition of dead plants and animals.   Cycle 3: Traveling Sound Use tuning forks to determine that sound waves travel through liquids, solids and gases at different speeds.   Cycle 4: Seismic Clatter How seismic technology maps patterns of rock formations below the earth's surface.   Cycle 5: Petro Pockets The porosity of rocks and how scientists extract oil and gas from these porous rock formations.   Cycle 6: Oilfield Fractions The separation of petroleum into its many components.   Cycle 7: What's the Risk? The dangers of playing around oilfield equipment as they watch and discuss the OERB's safety video, What's the Risk?   Cycle 8: Polymer Power Petroleum can be used to create thousands of products that we use everyday.   Cycle 9: Precious Pretzels Petroleum is a nonrenewable energy source that must be conserved.   Petro Active's Nine Learning Cycles  Cycle 1: Cooking Up Crude How oil and natural gas are formed.   Cycle 2: Muddy Microbes Soil and water are full of microorganisms that can have a dramatic effect on the decomposition of dead plants and animals.   Cycle 3: Traveling Sound Use tuning forks to determine that sound waves travel through liquids, solids and gases at different speeds.   Cycle 4: Seismic Clatter How seismic technology maps patterns of rock formations below the earth's surface.   Cycle 5: Petro Pockets The porosity of rocks and how scientists extract oil and gas from these porous rock formations.   Cycle 6: Oilfield Fractions The separation of petroleum into its many components.   Cycle 7: What's the Risk?
