Al,
A few times, I have given an introductory talk about meteorites to the local astronomy club. After my introduction to meteorites I have a little contest. For fun, I have taken in some meteorwrongs and have held contests where I will have ~15 samples for review of which ~half are real. The meteorwrongs consist of shatercones, impactite, quartz, and common rocks. The audience then gets to hold the samples and chose which are real an which are not. I allow lots of questions when they are holding the samples and this leads to fun discussions. I also have some magnets available for testing.
Thanks for your topic ideas.
Cheers,
tett Owen Sound, Ontario

Hi list,
I thought it might be useful for members to share their ideas on various talks or programs that we present in our communities. It might be a way to generate some ideas for those of us wanting to present something new and interesting at future programs. I thought I would list my ideas first.
An example is I just gave a talk on Lunar and Martian Meteorites and how we know they are from those parent bodies. Here are some other Programs I have given:
The History of Meteorites (How our understanding came about) How To Identify Meteorites Meteorites and Where They Come From (Parent Bodies) Meteorite Types The Mystery of Meteorites
I also thought that programs on the following might be of interest.
Meteorite Hunter Harvey Nininger Meteorites In The Collection Of (what ever museum) How To Hunt For Meteorites Meteorite Talks On Certain Falls How To Start a Collection Of Meteorites The History of Amateurs Collecting Meteorites
I can think of a few others but want to let others chime in if they want. All my best!
