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!

From 9am to 3:30pm, participants will be immersed in hands-on STEM activities that teach them different skills like using dichotomous keys, artificial intelligence, and more! ✨ Designed for Grade 3-5 (July 10) and 6-8 (July 11). Register today loom.ly/LDsTMYc

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!
