LESSONS PLANS GRADES 9-12

Lesson Plan, Grade, and Subject for 9-12

Working with Arkansas teachers and with our counterparts in Oklahoma, North Dakota and West Virginia, we are providing lesson plans, activities and resource links for Arkansas teachers to use with their classrooms. This hands-on curricula is as exciting to teach as it is to learn!

Below are links to PDF files that you can download to teach your classes about different subjects related to oil and natural gas. Lesson plans have been correlated to meet Arkansas Department of Education standards. The lesson plans are sorted by grade and subject.
