How a Black Hole Forms and Its

Gravity Force

DIVE IN THE SKY COMENIUS PROJECT TURKEY

Drama Activity

PRESENTATION A black hole is similar to a vacuum cleaner, cleaning up debris left behind in outer space.

A black hole uses the power of

gravity to pull things towards it.

A black hole's gravity becomes

so powerful that anything, including

light that gets too close, gets pulled

in. That's right, not even light can

escape the grasp of a black hole.

Nine students will make a circle.

They are little stars. Firstly, they sit,

then they stand up for showing their

growth. After, they close so much,

teacher gives bomb voice effect and

these nine students spread.

They wear black bin bags and black

masks and six of them make tunnels.

The other three pull the stars and

planets into the black hole. The

students that are into the dark whole

wear black masks and they sit, so they

disappear.

were stars and made nebula and dark

hole and teacher gives homework

nebula and dark hole: how they form
