What are Discovery Trunks?

Discovery Trunks are just that…trunks filled with free, hands-on, curriculum-enhancing natural resource materials and lesson plans designed for students kindergarten through eighth grade. All trunk materials are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) state standards. Currently, seven different trunk topics are available focusing on Texas wildlife and ecosystems.

All Texas schools and organizations with the desire to educate the youth of Texas that meet the following requirements can reserve a Discovery Trunk. This includes teachers, librarians, camp counselors, scout/troop leaders, homeschool groups, event coordinators, and more! We encourage educators to coordinate reservations and share the Discovery Trunks with each other in order to meet the student minimum and remain within the 3-trunk limit.

  • 65-Student Minimum
  • 2-Week Reservation *
  • 3-Trunk Maximum (Per School Each Semester) *

* Due to lower demand, exceptions to the requirements can be made during the summer semester.

Discovery Trunks are available for online reservation year-round.
