Space Dust Hunting
In this workshop students handle and study real meteorites from space.
We will be:
Looking at their role in the formation of planetary systems and their influence on the development of life.
Discovering how they deliver volatile elements including water to planets.
Exploring the potential causes of mass extinctions such as the KT event that killed off the dinosaurs.
By using the engaging topics of Asteroid Impacts and Mass Extinctions to inspire students in STEAM subjects, this workshop explores the science of meteorites, asteroids and comets.

Foundation Phase, Key Stage 2 & Key Stage 3
Venue requirements:
Access to classroom projector, computer/laptop/tablet, classroom tables and chairs
