Exploring Meteorite Mysteries
A Teacher's Guide with Activities for Earth and Space Sciences

This resource is a set of 19 lessons on meteorites and their effects
upon impact with Earth, developed by NASA's Astromaterials Research
center. Appropriate for grades 6-12, each lesson is aligned to national
science and math standards. The collection is divided into units based
on key questions students may ask about meteorites: "What are they?",
"Where do they come from?", and "What happens when they hit the Earth?"
Lessons range in complexity from very simple introductory material to
more advanced meteorite detection and planetary evolution.

Educators who complete a cost-free certification process with NASA may
have use of a Meteorite Sample Disk and accompanying slide show for
classroom use.

NASA's Astromaterials Research Office (ARES), is responsible for
conducting fundamental research on meteorites, cosmic dust, solar wind,
lunar rocks, and orbital debris.
