Steven's entry........
Meteorites are educational because they allow
the teacher to capture the imagination of the student. A physicist can slide a block of wood down a ramp, a chemist can make red water turn blue and back again, a mathematician can give you long formulas and explain the world with much rigor, but a teacher with a meteorite can do what no other can. A teacher with a meteorite can put in a student's hand: a piece of the oldest material known, a witness to the creation of the Earth, a rock that has fallen from heaven, a piece of an ancient star that exploded, a piece of Mars or a piece of the Moon. Meteorites are educational because they can quiet a room full of rowdy fourth and fifth grade students and turn Jr. high school teenagers from apathetic and angst filled inmates into attentive and inquisitive students. I say to other educators - "take your block, your acid and your equations and do what you will. I will send you students eager to learn each of your fields with one stone from the sky" This is why I have chosen to study meteorites :) Steven Steven Singletary |
