Science: Black Holes

Today we had a science lesson which was fun and challenging! It was all about Black holes. I found it only a little bit tricky to understand but I think I understood it pretty well.

We learned how a black hole was formed and what the black hole does and why it does what it does. I learned a bit about the Space-time continuum and gravitational pull and mass. When something collides with a black hole it gets bigger as it absorbs it’s mass. (Francis)

Investigation to see what happens when a star collapses.

This last picture shows a star that has the usual gas around it (foil) and then collapses once it has run out of fuel.

This star has gas around it (foil)

      A star imploding and then the gas reducing all around it….  (Francis)

Our school values award this month went to Eilidh who got it for being truthful and honest when it really matters.

Euroquiz contestants did amazingly well at the quiz and came 5th!! Well done!!
