The hypothesis is that the dust collected from all the locations will contain some micrometeorites.

You will collect samples from a rooftop gutter, an outdoor plant, and rainwater. You will use a magnet, a hotplate, and a microscope to observe the micrometeorites.

You will need a bottle of distilled water, a basin of water collected from a rooftop gutter, 20 leaves plucked from an outdoor plant, 2 plastic basins, a plastic pan with a large surface area, 3 beakers, 3 plastic bags, a strong magnet, a basin of rainwater, a hotplate, 3 needles, and a microscope.

The results show that micrometeorites were found in all 3 locations where the samples were collected. This proves that the hypothesis is true.

This science project is interesting because it allows you to explore the origins of the solar system and learn more about the tiny rocks that make up shooting stars.

To vary the experiment, you can collect samples throughout the different months of the year and compare the types of micrometeorites found. You can also collect samples after or during a meteorite shower.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
