How to Find a Meteorite!

Maybe you've seen a shooting star, a bright streak of light that zips across the sky! But did you know that those shooting stars are actually rocks falling from space? And sometimes you can find them on the ground! Find out how with Anthony and Sam!

Disciplinary Core Idea:

PS2.B: Types of Interactions - Electric and magnetic forces between a pair of objects do not require that the objects be in contact. The sizes of the forces in each situation depend on the properties of the objects and their distances apart and, for forces between two magnets, on their orientation relative to each other (3-PS2-3), (3-PS2-4).

Performance Expectations:

3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

3-PS2-4. Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets.
