Natural Resources, Rocks and Minerals

Parks provide an experience not easily duplicated in the classroom. The Fairfax County Park Authority new “Field Trips for All” programs offer parents an opportunity to supplement their child’s science learning with real outdoor experiences and application of the concepts required in the Virginia Standards of Learning. Experiences vary by park resources. This program is geared by grade level to provide enrichment to all learners including homeschool. "The Natural Resources, Rocks and Minerals" program is geared to grade level 4. Registration is limited to allow for social distancing. Groups of more than eight should consider booking a field trip directly with a park by visiting the park’s web site. All attendees, parents and students must register to control group size. The cost is $8 per person.
