[meteorite-list] ? meteorite education lecture for high school kids

[Bob WALKER]

Listoids

I'm in the same boat as Pete

One of the "local" astronomy clubs run by one of the teachers at a high 
school for senior students has tracked me down and invited me to give a 
presentation to the students on meteorites

Its always good to encourage the kritters and perhaps it will be the 
stimulus for some of them to go on and study science...

I'm tacking away at a powerpoint presentation and I seem to recall that some 
listoids had put together similar talks...

Can listoids contact me off-list re a draft on wot they have presented just 
to make sure I am sailing in the right direction - my powerpoint 
presentation so far has interesting facts and figures - an overview of 
classification and some snippets on how to identify a meteorite and I have 
to tack away a bit more on the page detailing how astronomy and meteorites 
coincide...

Tis a shame over here - Queensland Museum has very little in terms of an 
outreach program or loan display and an evening presentation does not suit 
them so I will go it alone

And if any listoid can loan an un-named  largish NWA with largish easy to 
see chondrules - well that would be great - I'll take along some Tenhams and 
other Queensland chondrites and some meteorwrongs
