Thursday's Classroom for June 1, 2000
On January 18, 2000, a "small" 200 metric ton asteroid streaked across the
skies of western Canada and exploded in the atmosphere. Now, scientists
have recovered fragments of the space rock and discovered that they are
members of a rare class of meteorites possibly containing amino acids and
other organic compounds.
In this week's episode of Thursday's Classroom, students can learn more
about the Yukon meteor by attending a "Cosmic BBQ," calculating "Fractions
of a Meteorite" and more.
