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.
