Videos About Black Holes for Kids

With the recent release of an image of a black hole, I thought it would be a good idea to find videos about black holes for kids so that you can use them to teach your children about this interesting space phenomenom.

I found four videos, all with child-friendly language and good graphics that explain the formation of black holes, how they work, and what would happen if you approached one. I think your kids will enjoy them.

Here they are.
