The aim of the project is to produce a virtual reality meteorite collecting trip, set in a hot desert environment. The audience at whom the activity is directed is primarily school students from Years 5 - 11 (Age 9 - 16; Key Stages 2-4), although other audiences will also be encouraged through Open University websites.Using the activity as a framework, we will:(i) introduce meteorites as fragments from asteroids, the Moon and Mars, study of which can help us to understand the origin and evolution of the Solar System(ii) discuss the complementary nature of materials returned directly from space missions with those found on earth as meteorites(iii) consider the necessity of meteorite curation, the importance of planetary protection and the legacy value of meteorite collections for future researchThe overall impact of the project will be to increase scientific literacy in the targeted students, introducing them to various concepts, including the notion of great ages and vast distances, how looking at small fragments of an object can yield information about major events and how analysing rocks from space can help us understand the Earth. Students will also be expected to acquire skills in team-working, effective communication, note-taking and record keeping, as well as fieldwork skills of equipment selection, distance and direction measurement and landmark identification.

该项目的目的是在炎热的沙漠环境中制作一个虚拟现实陨石收集之旅。该活动的受众主要是5 - 11年级的学生（9 - 16岁;关键阶段2-4），但其他观众也将通过开放大学网站鼓励。以活动为框架，我们将：（i）将陨石作为来自小行星、月球和火星的碎片，研究它可以帮助我们了解太阳系的起源和演化（ii）讨论从空间飞行任务直接返回的材料与在地球上发现的陨石的互补性㈢考虑陨石保管的必要性，行星保护的重要性和陨石收藏对未来研究的遗产价值该项目的总体影响将是提高目标学生的科学素养，向他们介绍各种概念，包括大年龄和遥远距离的概念，观察一个物体的小碎片如何能产生关于重大事件的信息，以及分析太空中的岩石如何能帮助我们了解地球。学生还将获得团队合作，有效沟通，笔记和记录保存的技能，以及设备选择，距离和方向测量和地标识别的实地工作技能。
