I truly had a blast visiting the Oilfield Energy Center’s Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig Museum and Education Center. I enjoyed exploring about the production and technology of each particular kid of Oil rig. We had a wonderful tour guide, who gave the group greater insight about the significance of each type of drill, and explained what major roles they carried out. It was also interesting to learn about the many ways that we utilize oil daily. Finally, the engaging educational sessions were quite informative and provided teachers with helpful activities to integrate in the classrooms.

Great picture Mail!!! I agree the oil rig was the perfect field trip and Mrs. Nancy was very informative. I can’t wait to have my students build a derrick with spaghetti, linguine and marshmallows.
I really like the video. Do you plan to do one every week? I bet the field trip brought back some memories for you.
Thank you kindly Christina and yes I will certainly share these memories with my new group of students! I will create more videos if time permits.
This field trip seemed very fun! I also liked your video. I noticed a picture of the Marshmallow Challenge in your video. Did you guys get to actually partake in the Marshmallow Challenge? Or have you ever done the Marshmallow Challenge in your classroom? If not, you should definitely incorporate it as an ice breaker with your students in the fall.
