This professionally-made music video from They Might Be Giants explains that a shooting star is actually is a meteor in the sky. Cartoons are simple and cute while the tune and lyrics are catchy and easy to remember. Some lyrics include "A shooting ...star is not a star, is not a star at all. A shooting star is a meteor that's heading for a fall. A shooting star is not a star. Why does it shine so bright? The friction as it falls through air produces heat and light. A shooting star or meteor, whichever name you like. The minute it comes down to Earth it's called a meteorite." (01:32)

From EsoCast. Look closely and see a meteor shower captured in this series of time lapse shots. On 14--16 December 2012, the Geminid meteor shower made a spectacular appearance over ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. As the meteors showered down ove...r the site, photographer Gianluca Lombardi spent over 40 hours recording it.
The Geminids is a shower of shooting stars appearing to emanate from within the constellation of Gemini (The Twins). This shower occurs when the Earth cuts through the orbit of an asteroid named 3200 Phaethon, which happens once each year, in December. Particles in the trail of dust along the orbit of Phaethon burn up in our atmosphere, creating the brilliant, fast-moving points of light characteristic of meteor showers. (03:05)

Ask the Astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, goes to the park to see if anyone has any questions. A boy in the park asks, “How fast does meteorite moves in space?” He explains that meteor moves through space and if you find it on the ground then it... is a meteorite. Sometimes the speed is 10-15 miles per second. He then shows the children friction and explains how the atmosphere protects us from meteorites. Video is great quality and sound is also. Good video for younger student, gives a good and simple answer to the question. Video is good for elementary level students. (3:04)
