Registration Form
A Three-Day Adventure-Seminar for K-12 Teachers
July 22-24, 2008
Bakersfield, California

Learn from the experts – Tour oil productions sites – Take learning tools back to your classroom. Four of the largest oil fields in the US are located in Kern County where over 200 million barrels of oil were produced in 2006 alone. Derricks to Desks gives teachers a first-hand look at the petroleum industry and its history, technology, careers, challenges and opportunities.

Teachers participate in seminars with industry experts and visit several local oil operations for a unique view of the industry. Additionally, one portion of the program focuses on lesson plans, projects, experiments and other ideas which may be integrated into classroom subjects at all grade levels.

Field Trip sites include Elk Hills field, the largest producer of natural gas and 5th largest oil field in the State of California; the West Kern Oil Museum and Kern County Oil Museum’s “Black Gold the Oil Experience” exhibit; as well as a special trip to the natural oil seeps off the coast of Santa Barbara, the second largest natural seeps of oil and gas in the world.

Former participants have said:

“The most useful part was learning how the oil and gas fields actually work. We, as part of society, really do not understand, nor do we ever take the time to find out. This seminar was excellent. Keep up the good work.”

“This was a great experience. Please continue to educate the teachers in this vital area. Energy is a critical issue in our country and we need to have a balanced view of the industry’s sources and challenges.”

“The lesson plans were good, but my enthusiasm for the topic, which was gained during the three day period, will be the motivating factor to teach well.”
