On the 1st (local time), Australia 7 News reported that the truth of the meteorite crash that fell on a Queensland state school was revealed.
A day ago, pictures of meteorites that fell at Malanda State Elementary School in Queensland began to spread online. The photo shows a fragment of a black meteorite that fell on the school lawn. There is smoke from the meteorite, and the grass is scorched black around the meteorite.
Space experts were also interested in such a rare sight, and the NASA also took notice. But soon as they learned the truth about the meteorite, astronomy experts were forced to blush. This is because this meteorite was made by the students for the assignment.
Students were asked to write an article about the’meteorite crash’ from their teacher, and they wrote about what the witnesses and rescuers were doing in the field. “It was part of a way to strengthen my writing skills,” said Kylie Debel, head of the subject, and said, “The enthusiasm of the students was great.” Debel said that he added a sense of realism by installing an effect device that emits smoke under the meteorite, which stimulated the students’ imagination. Mark Allen, principal of Malanda State Elementary School, said, “We have received various questions from all over the world.” He also said that he had to report to the Kennedy Space Center.”
When it became known that the meteorite’s identity was a model for the experiment, the local police gave virtual interviews and helped the children for practical learning. As if reporting real news, the students shared roles such as announcers and reporters to report the scene of the meteorite crash, and Malanda State Elementary School posted it on the school’s Facebook page.
