Try sending a text or making a call at the Science Mill's Cell Phone Disco exhibit, and watch your message illuminate the wall! #radiowaves #physics #light #didyouknow #trivia #funfact #exhibit #sciencemuseum #sciencemill #texas

Have you ever seen a radio wave before? 📶 You probably haven't - that's because you can't actually see them! That is, unless you have a silo filled with thousands of tiny light sensors that light up like a disco when it detects radio waves.

This day is for you, teachers ✏️💌 We've designed the Educator Open House this July 26 to provide you an informative AND memorable experience, complete with Informative Sessions, freebies, and access to the ongoing museum activities - all for free. Don't miss out! ✨

#DidYouKnow there is a fish that bears a pattern resembling the US flag on it? You bet there is! This cutie is called the American Flagfish, named for the familiar pattern present in its males. Can you spot it? 😉 Happy 4th, y'all! See you tomorrow!

What skills do Planetary Geologists or Astrogeologists need to learn? How does AI connect to the study of space? 🤔 Learn the answers to these questions and MORE at next week's single-day camp, Life in the Universe!

🦈 You know what's coming next month... #sharkweek #sharkweek2024 #sharks #hammerhead #museumevent #summer #familydestination #sciencemill #texas

These are not rocks — they are coprolites or fossilized poop! Because dung decomposes quickly, coprolite is actually pretty rare. Coprolites of fish and reptiles are the most common, and can tell us a lot about a creature's diet and environment.

Time for some family trivia! If these aren't rocks, what do you think they could be? Comment your guesses below 🦖🪨

At the Science Mill, we are honored to serve not only as a space to develop a lifelong love for STEM, but also as a place to make unforgettable family memories 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What's your favorite memory of going to the Science Mill with your dad/father figure? 💖 Happy Father's Day!

How many American flags do you think there are on the moon? 🤔 We will share the right answer later this week! 🌑 (Our Create An Explosion exhibit might give you a hint 😉) Happy National Flag Day! #flagday #nationalflagday #starsandstripes #starspangledbanner #usa

Get a glimpse of this process at today's WEEKEND OF WOW! Complete fossil specimens and make an educated guess about the animal they belonged to at today's pop-up activity. #STEMcareers #STEAM #science #art #paleoart #paleoartist #paleontology

When paleontologists discover ancient fossils, how do they know what the animals those bones belonged to looked like? This is where PALEOARTISTS come in! Paleoartists work with paleontologists to create the most accurate representation of ancient creatures.

We have a few spaces left next week! Week-long and single-day registrations are available. Call us today Call 844-263-6405, ext. 1008

Why and how do cicadas make so much noise? 😲 Male cicadas create the loud buzzing noise to attract females. The unique pulsating sound is produced by a special organ called a tymbal, located on the abdomen of the males. Are you ready for warmer, longer days? 😎
