Dear List, My name is Alex Tettenborn and I am doing a Grade 7 science fair project on the possibility of meteorites contributing to the development of life on earth. I plan to place algae and plant seeds in water with crushed Murchison meteorite, and observe rate of growth compared to the control samples (distilled water and crushed pumice). I got this idea from the latest Meteorite magazine. I think that the Murchison meteorite will enhance the growth of both the plants and algae because many essential nutrients and organic molecules have been found in carbonaceous chondrites.
I would like your opinion on my experiment and my hypothesis and any other observations on Murchison meteorites and other carbonaceous chondrites. I would also like to thank Russ from the New England Meteorological Services for the generous donation of Murchison meteorite crumbs.
