What Teachers are Saying
“It is an excellent opportunity for education that is applicable and meaningful to the students' lives.”
Bill Smart
Garfield Elementary
"Interesting curriculum, up-to-date information, access to professionals (Petro Pro's), and filed trips. All this for free."
BJ Potts
Konawa High School
"I love the hands-on approach this curriculum takes. It is very thorough and leads the student step-by-step to the ultimate goal of understanding the concepts and then remembering long term! "
Tracy Bugg
Taft Elementary
"The new curriculum exceeded my expectations. This was one of the most generous gifts I had received during my twenty-two years as a science teacher."
Beverley McMillan
Plainview Middle School
"I am not a science "person," but the lessons were set up where they were easy to understand and teach. I liked the teacher information that was included."
Kristy Tebow
Glenwood Elementary
"I think this program is long overdue. I've had so many students over the years whose parents worked in the oil business but didn't have a clue what their parents' jobs involved."
Wayne Wagner
Glenwood Elementary
"Best workshop I have been to. I've been teaching 30 years."
Shirley Tucker
Verdigris High School
"This was a very good program... The students enjoyed this and learned by "doing," which is the main way to go with science... It was a learning experience for me as well as my students."
Jennifer Miller
Boise City Elementary
"I wanted to write and thank the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board for offering this workshop and program to Oklahoma public school science teachers. With your help, I will now be able to put actual rock samples and other materials in my students’ hands and do informative, engaging, and fun activities in my classroom to help the words in my student textbooks come to life."
Deb Loveless
Anadarko Middle School
"Love the hands on, not just telling you how to, you get to do it yourself."
Kelly Goff
Springer High School
"All of it goes well with my geology unit,
but now I see ways to further integrate with geography and math as well
as language arts."
