Astronomy For Kids - KidsAstronomy.com Curious Kids: Where do black holes lead to? This is an article from Curious Kids, a series for children. The Conversation is asking kids to send in questions they’d like an expert to answer. All questions are welcome – serious, weird or wacky! You might also like the podcast Imagine This, a co-production between ABC KIDS listen and The Conversation, based on Curious Kids. Hi. My name is Merion and my question to Curious Kids is: where do black holes lead to? Hi Merion. Black holes can form when a massive star dies. These stars are also made up of very hot gas which lets off a lot of heat. Normally the pull from gravity and the push from the heat balance each other out. Read more: Curious Kids: Does space go on forever? You will never be able to escape a black hole Because black holes are made up of a lot of mass squished into a very small area of space (in science speak we say black holes are very dense) they create a lot of gravity. Sadly, it is really hard to get a camera good enough to take pictures like that.
Healthy Eating Welcome to the Healthy eating module for children aged 5-8 years. This module supports primary school children learning about healthy eating, as depicted by the eatwell plate and is comprised of a comprehensive Teachers' Guide and three Key Facts; Key Fact 1 - Food is a basic requirement for life; Key fact 2 - People choose different types of food; Key Fact 3 - We all need to eat a variety and balance of food to stay healthy, as depicted in the eatwell plate. The Key Facts are the key messages and skills children need to know and ensure that children's learning is coherent and progressive. Interactive activities This module is supported by four exciting activities. Make a balanced plate (The eatwell plate and its food groups.) Make a healthy lunchbox (Create a healthy lunchbox in line with The eatwell plate.) Unmuddle the meals (Investiagte a range of meals and food groups from The eatwell plate.) This module is also available in Welsh.
Peering into the darkness: modelling black holes in primary school By Monica Turner Black holes Close to the singularity, gravity is so strong that nothing can escape. The escape velocity would need to be higher than the speed of light – so not even light can escape, which is why the black hole is black. (It is not actually a hole, though: there is a lot in there, although we cannot see it.) At a certain distance from the singularity, gravity is weak enough to allow light to escape, thus objects beyond this distance are visible. Activity 1: Modelling the formation of a black hole This activity will demonstrate to students how a black hole is formed through the collapse of a massive star, once the core of the star is unable to support the weight of the outer layers of gas surrounding it. Materials Each working group will need: A balloon A few sheets of aluminium foil, each approximately 30 cm square A pin for popping the balloon. Method Have the students inflate the balloon and tie it closed. Discussion Activity 2: Modelling the action of a black hole Review

Welcome to skoool.co.uk ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. As a small conservation charity, Wildscreen eventually reached the point where it could no longer financially sustain the ongoing costs of keeping Arkive free and online or invest in its much needed development. Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.
