Cataraqui Comet
One rainy Monday morning, students arrived at one of our partner schools to find what seemed to be a meteorite had landed in their courtyard! Astronomy professor Dr Kosma and some of her graduate students were called in to help the students investigate. Guided by Dr Kosma and her team and the Scientific Inquiry process, students conducted various experiments to uncover the mystery behind the meteorite and earned themselves memberships to the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
“Our goal in education is to engage the students in their own learning and this whole day did just that.”
