Step 11.  Free Additional Micrometeorites

Additional micrometeorites may also be freed.  Carefully wrap the glass stirring rod in the middle and break it so that one end is sharp.
 

WARNING:  Let an adult do
this step.  You may get cut.

Use the sharp end of the glass stirring rod to lightly scrape the dish’s bottom and sides.  As before, these micrometeorites should fall onto the microscope slides.
 

Again, lightly tapping the back of the glass dish may be required to free additional micrometeorites.
 

Proceed to Step 12
