"Modern society runs on fuel-and drilling rigs are needed to dig massive holes for fuels such as oil and natural gas. Some drilling rigs float on water. Others are fixed in place.

They will learn about the individual parts of a drilling rig and where waste from drilling goes. But, most importantly, they will learn one thing all drilling rigs have in common-they're all huge!"--.
