The new Traveling Field Trip Exhibit Trailer has been very busy this
first quarter of 2008. Since January, the exhibit has made its stop
at several schools or special events throughout Illinois. Over
1,600 students or individuals have visited the exhibit since the
beginning of 2008, and many more presentations are scheduled for
April and May. This brings our total number of exposures to over
104,000!! At each school, students received rulers, pencils, and
magnets proclaiming "Illinois Basin Oil is Cool!" Each school
received a copy of the video "The Story of Petroleum".
With the new exhibit, students will see new graphical learning
stations which students must "explore" to find energy information
and new small scale working models of oil and natural gas
equipment commonly used during the exploration and production
of crude oil and natural gas in Illinois. They also learn about new
technologies being used to find more oil and gas. Students also
discover how crude oil and natural gas contributes to thousands
of products that affect their quality of life, and the numerous
career opportunities available in this industry.
The IPRB delivers a uniquely qualified educational program that
meets science and social science learning standards established
by the Illinois State Board of Education. IPRB’s “Story of
Petroleum” video and poster/brochure introduces and explains
the processes involved in oil exploration, drilling and refining.
Video footage was filmed on location in the Illinois Basin with
scenes from a geologist’s office, drilling rig, pumping unit, tank
battery, refinery, and more.
We are now booking for Fall 2008. Schedule the Traveling Field
Trip Exhibit for your school or special event or email us at
iprb@yahoo.com. This program is provided FREE to the public or
to any school in Illinois.
