Read MoreMeteorites land at Bishop Loveday Primary School!
Published 25/11/19Pupils from Bishop Loveday Primary School got their hands on rare samples of moon rocks and meteorites on 18 November 2019 during a series of science lessons which were truly out of this world.
Students were encouraged to reach for the stars and learn more about the Universe around us during a week-long interactive experience of astronomy.
Youngsters were given the unique opportunity to actually touch a piece of space rock not of this Earth as they were allowed to handle some genuine meteorites.
These rare samples were provided free of charge by the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), which provides educational packs in a bid to inspire young people to get involved in science and complement classroom studies.
The pack provided by STFC includes a 1.2 billion-year-old piece of Mars rock and a 4.3 billion-year-old nickel meteorite. It is unlikely that students will ever get the chance to hold an object older than this, as Earth itself was formed 4.6 billion years ago.
The packs include a meteorite hunter’s kit, a teacher planning pack and exciting web-based resources and online support videos for all age groups, primary to secondary.
The lunar samples were collected in the late 1960s and early 1970s during some of NASA’s first manned space missions to the Moon. During these missions, a staggering 382kg of material was brought back to Earth – mostly for use by scientists, but small quantities are used to develop educational packs like this one.
Samples like these can tell us a great deal about the planets, from which they originate, but there is still much to learn – and these packs will help encourage students to become the next generation of astronomers.
