This document describes activities that simulate how oil and natural gas are extracted from underground rock formations. It discusses key concepts like porosity, permeability, and secondary recovery methods like gas drives and water floods. The activities demonstrate how some rocks have more pore space and can store fluids, how oil and gas can migrate upward through permeable layers until trapped by impermeable ones, and how injection wells can force more oil out of a formation. Key terms are defined, like porosity, permeability, reservoir, gas drive, and water flood.
This document provides instructions for an experiment to observe how sound waves travel through different materials. Students are asked to fill two dishes, one with water and one with cooking oil, and strike tuning forks over each dish to see the wave patterns. They observe that the liquids produce different wave silhouettes due to their different viscosities. The conclusion is that sound travels through solids, liquids, and gases at different speeds, and requires a vibrating object, medium, and receiver.
Over millions of years, microscopic marine plants and animals that lived in an ancient sea covering Oklahoma died and sank to the ocean floor. Sediment gradually buried them, subjecting the remains to intense heat and pressure over time. This transformed the organic material into oil and natural gas trapped within sedimentary rock formations. Today, these fossil fuels are extracted from 71 of Oklahoma's 77 counties.
1. This system shows decomposition by microorganisms, the first step in petroleum formation.
2. Living microorganisms in the soil and pond water feed on organic material like newspaper and eggshells, decomposing them.
3. Evidence of microorganism activity is seen in the production of gas from decaying carbon in the organic materials.
This document discusses pollination syndromes, which are suites of flower traits that have evolved to attract different pollinators like bees, butterflies, bats, and beetles. It provides examples of the types of flowers that attract certain pollinators, such as wide, white flowers appealing to beetles and red flowers attracting hummingbirds. The document emphasizes that pollinators are vital because they facilitate reproduction for 90% of flowering plants, including many food crops that humans depend on.
This document provides instructions for making a big book by folding and cutting paper. It describes folding a page in half and then in half again, cutting along the fold line up to the center line. Another page is cut slightly smaller and fit inside, with the flap glued so the pages are attached. Text is then added and the book folded closed. The document credits the lead teacher and participants who created the instructions.
Stan Melby led an activity to make snot using glue, borax, hot water, food coloring, and other materials. The activity involved mixing glue and water in a red cup, adding borax and food coloring to hot water, and then stirring the colored mixture into the glue mixture. Participants then used their hands in a dishpan to work the mixtures together to create stretchy snot, being careful not to eat the non-edible snot.

Spawning
Male paddlefish are old enough to spawn when they are four to nine
years. Females spawn when they are 6-12 years old. Spawning season is
from March through June, when spring rains raise the water levels of rivers
and water temperatures reach 50-60 degrees. Males and females gather
in schools and release their eggs over gravel or sandbars. This is called
"broadcast spawning."
