The annual Perseid meteor shower will peak between August 11th - 14th. EarthSky.org has a great page devoted to how to best view this event: http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/everything-you-need-to-know-perseid-meteor-shower What do you do with your students about meteorites and meteors?

Thanks for the information. Our first quarter of school (starting Monday) involves comets, meteors, and asteroids, as well as space in general.

I teach astronomy at Camp Watonka in the summer. We had a star watch last night and campers saw three very bright shooting stars - early arrivals from the Perseid shower.
