Last week (22/06/23), Dr Richard Greenwood visited Europa School UK in Culham, Abingdon, bringing a case, containing all sorts of exciting meteorites . Europa School is a multilingual, IB Diploma state school, which offers lessons in both English and a foreign language (French, German or Spanish). Richard, who teaches Chemistry to Sixth-Form students at the school one day a week, showed his students some of the meteorites. The most impressive one is the large piece of Gibeon that he presented to a group of S5 (Year 11) students, who were enjoying a taster day for the IB Diploma Programme they will be starting this September. Dr Greenwood also talked about how valuable the meteorites are, with some being valued at around £20,000! Overall, it was a very fun day and the students were all captivated by the meteorites.
