Investigating Black Holes
Main Activity
Project Name: Black Hole Sim
Mission: Students will construct a model, or an alternate project (see below) of a black hole, and how it affects its surroundings. Students can use their own imagination to depict a black hole, since you can't actually see it but only what surrounds it.
Alternate Activities
1) Research about black holes that have
been found.
2) Draw, paint, or make a collage of the
area around a black hole, or what might
happen if one of the planets, the sun, or
even Earth was caught by a black hole.
3) Share your art with the world and submit it to
our gallery.
- Expand students' awareness of how black holes are formed.
- Actively involve students in learning about black holes.
