Unveiling the Mysteries of Gravity: A Simple STEM Science Experiment on Spacetime and Black Holes!

Children's University code: red1209
The law of gravity was described by Sir Isaac Newton in 1687 to provide our earliest understanding of this force. In 1915, Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity, combining space and time into spacetime, and changing the description of how gravity works, especially in space. In this simple science experiment, you explore how spacetime is affected by gravity, and how gravity is affected by mass, and the effect that black holes have on spacetime!
This activity is perfect for World Space Week, or any space or forces topic.
