WHEN/WHERE?

EXPLAIN/DESCRIBE

I got this from Dogo News.

THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE...

• It can teach us about the universe.
• Learning about the universe can teach us about the earth.
• Learning about the earth can teach us many things

WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS?

• I think space is a really interesting topic
• I like reading about regular people who find something important (like the meteor)

HISTORICAL

The meteor in the sky

The meteor chunk that fell through the roof
