General Relativity 6 - The Star Called a Black Hole
Michael Burns - Waterloo Collegiate Institute (WRDSB)
PIRSA:06080034The physical attributes of a black hole and what types of physical evidence astronomers use the locate them. Learning Outcomes: • What are the physical requirements for a star to become a black hole, and what properties of that star remain after the black hole is formed? • The types of black holes… -

General Relativity 3 - Who's Who in the Story of Black Holes
Michael Burns - Waterloo Collegiate Institute (WRDSB)
PIRSA:08080073An introduction to a few of the major scientists who applied Einstein's ideas to better understand the life cycle of various stars. Learning Outcomes: • How Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar resolved the paradox of the white dwarf star, and how Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky described the dynamics of… -
General Relativity 4 - The Life Story of Stars
Michael Burns - Waterloo Collegiate Institute (WRDSB)
PIRSA:08080074The mathematical predictions made by scientists tell a story of the life and death of stars. Learning Outcomes: • How the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram describes the life cycle of stars. • Depending on its mass, how a star ends its life as a white dwarf star, a neutron star, or a black hole, and where… -

General Relativity 2 - Gravity is a Curvature
Michael Burns - Waterloo Collegiate Institute (WRDSB)
PIRSA:08080072Spacetime tells matter how to move, and matter tells spacetime how to curve. Learning Outcomes: • Why gravity can be seen as a curvature of spacetime. • That Einstein’s field equations describe how matter curves spacetime. • How Sir Arthur Eddington verified Einstein’s theory of general relativity… -
General Relativity 1 - Introduction of a New Idea
Michael Burns - Waterloo Collegiate Institute (WRDSB)
PIRSA:08080071We shift our ideas from Newton’s law of gravity to a new set of equations that describe how gravity is a consequence of the curvature of spacetime. Learning Outcomes: • John Michell and his hypothetical object called a dark star. • How to determine the mass of a planet required for the escape… -
