Did you know that the Texas Oil Boom is also referred to as the “gusher age?” Occurring in the early 1900s, the discovery of oil in Texas changed the economic landscape of the state. At this month’s Homeschool Day, let’s find out where and how this natural resource was found, how it was utilized and what the ramifications of this discovery were. Do you think that the effects of the oil boom are still being felt today?
Homeschool Days at the Doss include a lesson and slideshow, stem and art based projects as well as games or other activities relating to the subject matter. Homeschool Day is meant to be an open discussion on the chosen topic of the month. Bring your own knowledge to share with the group!
