Teach Engineering: What's Down There?

Curated by ACT

During this activity, students will learn how oil is formed and where in the Earth we find it. Students will take a core sample to look for oil in a model of the Earth. They will analyze their sample and make an informed decision as to whether or not they should "drill for oil" in a specific location.
