Mysteries(for teachers)

Hi folks!

This is another heads up about a great meteorite-related item for
teachers and people doing outreach work involving space sciences :

It's a comprehensive lesson plan for teachers that covers all aspects
of meteorites - falls, types, craters, parent bodies, chemistry, and
more. It also has some great ideas for demonstrations and hands-on
activities. The publication is from 1997, so some of the information
is a little dated, but the majority of it is still accurate. There
is also a filmstrip and meteorite sample kit that NASA will send to
accompany this lesson plan (on request) - although I don't know if
they are still doing this and I don't have these materials myself,
just the book.

The book is about 200+ doubles-sided pages that have 3-holes for a
ring binder. Best of all, the book is PUBLIC DOMAIN and no
permission is needed to duplicate it. It is aimed towards students
from Grades 5 through 12. (pretty good coverage)

In the near future, I am going to run off a couple of copies at
Kinkos for loaner distribution to friends of mine who are teachers,
and if anyone here on the list is interested, contact me offlist.

Here are a few photos of the book (which is unbound) - My copy was
brand new and still in the cellophane.

More good news - Amazon.com has ONE copy of this book for sale for
$20! Here is a link. (I am not affiliated with the seller in any
way) -
