This document outlines a 3-day lesson plan about meteorites for 3rd grade students. The lesson will:
1) Have students listen to a story and make predictions, watch a slideshow on meteorites, and take notes on characteristics of meteorites.
2) Have students in teams explore a website and document characteristics of rocks outside.
3) Have students write and illustrate a short fictional story about a meteorite using vocabulary from the lesson. Student work will be shared and students will also keep an observational science blog.
