The UK-China Leonid Meteor Shower Observation Project

The projects were devised with middle and junior schools in mind. They are suitable for Keystages 2 and 3 in the British educational system (9 year olds and up).

However, it is probably worthwhile for older students to glance through the projects as a refesher, and then go on the section on "How to Observe". This section is suitable for KS4 and 5 projects.
