  1. Oil

  2. How is Oil made? • Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in the sea before the dinosaurs.

  3. Over millions of years, the remains of these animals and plants were covered by layers of sand and silt.

  4. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil. The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth."

  5. How do Scientists Find Oil? • Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. • Scientists and engineers explore a chosen area by studying rock samples from the earth. Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. • Above the hole, a structure called a 'derrick' is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well. When finished, the drilled well will bring a steady flow of oil to the surface. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRqgynLmjow
