Enchanted Rock STATE NATURAL AREA HILL COUNTRY Enchanted Rock STATE NATURAL AREA Breathtaking, intriguing, and beautiful – words alone fail to provide an adequate description of the massive pink granite dome and rugged landscape that is Enchanted Rock. Our Native American ancestors have called this place home for thousands of years. Today, visitors come to make the fascinating trek to the rock’s summit, where they are treated to panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country. Scenic trails along the rock’s base are especially pretty in the spring, and high cliffs on the northwest side of the main dome attract rock climbers. Camping: Walk-in campsites (no RVs) with water only; also primitive sites reached by backpacking. Group Facilities: Group picnic pavilion (capacity 200). Sponsored Youth Group area. Picnicking: Picnic sites with tables and grills. Trails: 8.4 miles of hiking trails. Rock Climbing: No bolts, pitons or other rock-damaging equipment allowed. Climbers must register at park headquarters.

TTIP is a competitive program for science, technology, and mathematics teachers who serve as summer interns at industry and university sites in order to experience real-world applications of the subjects they teach. In 1996, a total of 12 teachers interned at seven sites and were required to develop a curriculum implementation plan (CIP) which illustrated how they would translate the summer experience into the subsequent year's classroom curricula. This document is a compilation of the curriculum implementation plans developed by the teachers. Topics include measurement errors, physical science/environmental science, composite science, biology, chemistry, ecology, technology, astronomy, geology, life science, mathematics, and endocrinology.
