On the Origins of Life- An Introduction to Meteorites and Meteor-wrongs at ROM

Dive into the science of meteorites in a hands-on workshop that takes you on a journey through meteorite and planetary geology. Explore meteorite origins in the solar system, the different types, and their impact on the future of science and our understanding of Earth’s place in the universe.

Classroom instruction, a guided exploration of meteorites in ROM’s Earth Treasures gallery, and a hands-on introduction to meteorite classification using the Museum’s collections and equipment are all included. You’ll be guided in the use of meteorite hand samples, as well as ID tools such as magnets and hand lenses, to build experience in general overall identification skills and understanding of samples. 

This workshop is designed for audiences with limited knowledge of meteorites and meteorite identification. 

Please note: Participants are NOT permitted to bring personal specimens to this workshop.
