We also wrote this poem together:
We would love to eat 100 hamburgers. But we would never eat 100 spiders. We can play 100 video games. But we can’t do 100 push-ups. We wish we had 100 sloths. But we would never want 100 bulls!

6th grade students have been geologists studying the types of rock found locally, (limestone, sandstone and shale) and how that relates to finding oil and natural gas in Kansas and Oklahoma. They learned that the Permian Sea was what deposited the fossils here millions of years ago creating fossil fuels, and they have done numerous experiments on permeability and porosity to see which type of rock would hold oil the best.
