McKinney Roughs

For the trip to McKinney Roughs, we picked four educational activities for 8th graders. Included with each on-site activity are pre-visit and post-visit suggestions. There is also a “transitional activity” that can be done as students move around the nature park – or can focus on as an integral part of the trip. Pick and choose how you see fit. Timing is flexible for these programs. Teachers just have to talk to the staff about what they really want to do. More »

Diverse Learning Opportunities

There is so much diversity here – 135 varieties of plants and native Texas critters are flying, swimming, slithering and crawling. Variety and a geologic history dating back 275 million years ago to the Mesozoic era — all observable from 15 miles of trails. The learning opportunities are as diverse as the park itself.
