Science lesson at midnight-Perseid meteor shower

The older boys and I went onto the beach tonight hoping to catch a glimpse of the meteor shower occurring. We didn’t see anything trailing across the sky, but the boys enjoyed looking for crabs and jumping puddles. Had a short discussion of what was occurring with the intersection of the Swift-Tuddle comet.
