Falling into a Black Hole

In this black hole activity, students read about how images fade to black when they reach an event horizon of a black hole. Students solve 3 problems about black holes using a given equation for luminosity. They find the time it takes...

In this black hole worksheet, students use a given equation that relates the rate of matter falling into a black hole to the power emitted by the black hole to determine accreted mass.

In this black holes worksheet, students read about black holes and solve 3 problems where they calculate the Schwarschild radius of one, the number of grams/second a quasar luminosity implies for another and the number of suns per year a...

In this power of black holes worksheet, students solve 6 problems including finding the surface area of a black hole, determining the amount of matter in the black hole shell, finding the rest mass energy and determining the time it...

Here's a black hole video that will definitely pull you in! Give pupils something to ponder as they explore the depths of the strangest entities in the universe. Topics include stellar mass and supermassive black holes, what you'd...

Did you know black holes aren't black? Learn more about space with an episode from a larger series exploring physics. We know more about black holes now than ever before in history, yet we aren't sure we really know anything at all.

Everything is relative ... including the length of a year! Physics students explore time on a galactic scale in an animated video. The resource focuses on the tropical year upon which our calendar is based, galactic years, and the length...

Following his video on black holes, a video on supermassive black holes explains what happens when a supermassive stellar object collapses. The video primarily touches on the reasons we don't see intermediate black holes, as they can be...

If a black hole suddenly replaced our sun, would we be sucked into it? The video answers this question and many others about black holes. It details the life cycle of a black hole and what would happen if you went into one.

The destructive power of black holes is enough to give any astrophysicist nightmares. No wonder the question arises as to whether a black hole can be destroyed. The narrator of a theoretical video explores the possibilities.
