Dear Educators,

 https://sciencemuseum.utexas.edu/

We’re excited to share that Texas Science & Natural History Museum now offers free field trips for Title I schools!

Each student attending an approved Title I field trip will also receive a printed museum journal and pencil to guide their exploration. These journals are designed to connect directly with classroom topics such as:

• Texas fossils
• Biological structure and function
• Predator-prey relationships
• Earth and space science
• Sustainability

Educators can also explore our growing library of TEKS-aligned activities to extend learning beyond the museum:

While the museum offers engaging experiences for students of all ages, our exhibits most closely align with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Science TEKS.

Read how educators describe Title I field trips during the 2024-2025 academic year:

For more information visit our website. To request a field trip, simply complete our field trip form and indicate that you are a Title I school:

Transportation reimbursement is also available while funding lasts. Include your request in the “Accommodations” section of the form.

We encourage you to schedule your field trip for February 2026 or later to experience our new paleontology gallery, opening next year!
