Exploring Meteorite Mysteries
A Teacher's Guide with Activities for Earth and Space Sciences
http://www.compadre.org/precollege/items/detail.cfm?ID=9887

published by the NASA Johnson Space Center: Astromaterials Research Office
edited by Marilyn Lindstrom

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.
