Stephen Hawking & Black Holes
Below is an activity about Stephen Hawking and Black Holes. Good luck and enjoy!
Hello! My name is Professor Stephen Hawking. I was a scientist who loved asking big questions.
I wondered, “How did the universe begin?” and “What happens inside a black hole?” A black hole is a place in space with such a strong pull that even light cannot easily escape!
When I was young, my body became very weak because of an illness. I used a wheelchair to get around. Later, I used a special computer to help me speak.
Even when some things were hard, I kept learning, thinking, and sharing my ideas. I wanted people to look up at the stars and stay curious.
I believed that everyone can wonder about the universe. You can be a scientist, too—just keep asking questions!
-
I studied black holes because they are some of the most mysterious places in space. They can form when a very big star runs out of fuel and squeezes into a tiny, super-heavy spot.
-
A black hole pulls things toward it with very strong gravity. Gravity is the invisible force that keeps your feet on Earth—but a black hole’s gravity is much, much stronger!
-
A black hole is not really a giant hole you could fall through like a cave. It is a place in space that we cannot see easily, but scientists can learn about it by watching what happens around it.
