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).

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 the Dr Pepper Museum, science fizzes to life as students dive into the chemistry of carbonation, experiment with bottling, and connect it all to real-world math—all while learning the story of one of America’s most iconic soft drinks. Adventurers will love Inner Space Cavern in Georgetown or Natural Bridge Caverns in New Braunfels, where they’ll marvel at jaw-dropping cave formations and take part in a hands-on mineral dig activity. 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.
