Robert, Wendi and others, Yes...one more question for your list. Why do meteorites cost so [EMAIL PROTECTED] much? They are just rocks you know.
Great list to create a curriculum from...a few textbooks, lectures, an engrossed lifetime, etc. I look forward to your findings and website. John PS I'll be teaching meteorites to 4 classrooms of 6th graders next week. > I'm building a list of potential middle and high school meteorite related > study, report, and lab projects.
