Black holes
Lesson Outline
For the second hour today, we watched a National Geographic video on black holes. As with the other time we watched a documentary, we stopped frequently so Jared could ask questions, which he did. The documentary mainly dealt with supermassive black holes (those that reside in the centers of galaxies), but the beauty of black holes is that – apart from the slope of the gravitational potential well – they 'behave' in the same way, regardless of if they're the monster black holes at the centers of galaxies or stellar remnants left behind after a supernova explosion.

Lesson Comments
Jared was a little bit restless today – I think it had to do with the fact that most of his friends did not have school today. Nevertheless, he made a valiant effort of staying focused – and we did have a double lesson! Even so, he still asked incredibly pointed and relevant questions, especially during the documentary.
