Oil is already extracted from watermelon seeds. The methods are probably similar to the extraction methods for other essential oils, including heating, steaming, and distillation. I don't know how much oil is in the rind.
Look also into the chemical processes involved in converting dead plant matter into fossil petroleum. That would be much harder to do as a class project.
