Create a Living System for Your Students

In celebration of Earth Day, the Science Mill has two super fun DIY projects to enhance your Environmental Sciences lessons. Bring natural beauty and STEM principles to your classroom or outdoor learning spaces with an aquaponics system and a butterfly garden!

Both of these projects are simple, affordable, and can add so much to your learning environment.
First up: Build Your Own Aquaponics System
Read all about our on-site Aquaponics Greenhouse, and then get a detailed shopping list and instructions for creating your classroom system!
Next: Plants for Pollinators
At the Science Mill, we love the idea of using native plants to help pollinators do their job. It's a small, local action that can have world-wide impact!
Read about our garden, this year's record monarch migration, and find out what your students can plant to attract pollinators.

(P.S. Here's a bonus blog post about pollinators, too!)

Environmental Sciences at The Mill

Come see us for unique experiences that support STEM education!
Did you know that the Science Mill is a Texas Aquatic Field Site? We’ve been certified by Texas Parks and Wildlife to provide key Aquatic Science field activities for your students.
Field experiences make learning come alive and give students a meaningful event to which they can connect their learning. Bring your students to the Science Mill where they can experience the Got Water? Learning Lab
More Environmental Education Opportunities at the Mill
Many of our exhibits allow students hands-on opportunities to discover environmentally-focused STEM principles. Check out the TEKS Alignment of our exhibits, and see how you can enhance your classroom learning with a trip to the Mill!
