How to use the kit
The kit has four modules that evolve from the orgin of oil and gas to the development based on the age of the students. Each module has a lesson plan and hands-on activities. The lessons correlate to pages in the Oil and NaturalGas book, included in the kit. Also included are basic supplies for the activities and a list of perishable goods that need to be procured. Once the kit is used, replenish the supplies for the next member. Lastly, let us know how the event goes by submitting an activity report and we will share your success on our social channels.
