4th, 5th, and 6th Grade Science - Burnet and Waco, TX OR San Antonio and San Marcos, TX

Education in Action’s “Water Rocks” Discover Texas Field Trip Program takes 4th-6th grade students on an unforgettable day of hands-on, TEKS-based science fun—customized just for your school! Mix and match from the following engaging venues (options listed Program Inclusions section, below).

Adventurers will love Longhorn Cavern in Burnet where they’ll marvel at jaw-dropping cave formations and take part in a hands-on mineral dig activity. Budding paleontologists dig into history at Waco Mammoth National Monument, where they’ll explore a real Ice Age fossil site and uncover clues about prehistoric creatures that once roamed Texas. At Cameron Park Zoo, students meet animals from ecosystems along the Brazos River and explore how each species survives and thrives through unique habitats and adaptations. With charter bus transportation, meals, t-shirts, and all reservations included, we handle the details—so you can focus on the adventure!

This program is aligned with 4th, 5th and 6th grade science TEKS.
