Meteorite Mitigation - student worksheet
This deals with the after affects of a meteorite impact.
Creating Craters - Teachers Guide
This lesson allows pupils to create impact craters in layered dry materials. Pupils can perform controlled experiments by varying the velocity or mass of crater-forming objects and observing and measuring their effects.

Metorite Sleuths Student Worksheet
A worksheet teaching students how to identify meteorites using visual inspection, measures of density and magnification.
Following the Falling Meteorite Teachers Guide
Students will track a meteor's path using triangulation and predict where its meteorites might be found. The exercise can be extended to calculating the velocity of a meteor and understanding how scientists can determine a meteor's original orbit in space. The guide includes answers to the student worksheets, background information and extra questions and activities.
