Mission Meteorite

Children in Grades 5 to 6 are split into Mission Teams with cool names and must complete mission objectives. There will be meteorites on display, microscopes, and a "chocolate chip" asteroid mining activity. At the end we will have a ceremony and all the kids will be made "honorary members" of the Centre for Planetary Space Exploration.
