Is crude oil and natural gas found in large lakes underneath the earth's surface?  Do experiments to show how crude oil and natural gas can be trapped in porous rocks.  Create a graphic organizer to compare and contrast properties of oil and water.  Requires Acrobat Reader.

Experiments: Shaking It Up, Absorbing Rocks and Getting Physical with Oil.
