What are they?
Thought to be the last
stage in a stars life. Gravity
tries to take over the star.
When the fuel is used up
the gravity takes over and
the star collapses and
becomes a black hole.
Singularity and disk: The gravitational pull of
a black hole draws matter towards the middle where it is
destroyed. The center is a region where the ordinary rules
of science don’t matter . This area is called a singularity
outside the event horizon is an accretion disk. This gas and dust is pulled into
the hole.
Energy Beams: GRB’s are enormous burst of energy. They are thought
to be massive explosions called super novas happen when a massive
star collapses to form a black hole and a fireball forms a blasting jet
of energy.
Wormhole Highways: Some scientists view black holes as more than
just bottomless holes in space. Some astronomers believe that black
holes are wormholes, or entrances to another point in time in space. Until
recently, it was thought that a black holes gravity would stretch and distort.

24. Colors to avoid
If you want to use red, go for burgundy instead
Red causes an agitated emotional response
25. Colors evoke emotion
Green makes the viewer feel involved with topic
Blue indicates a calm message
Yellow is for hope and cheerfulness
Purple is childlike, save for light topics
Black indicates power
26. Fonts
● Type can express mood and emotion
● Do not use more than three different fonts
● Bookman, Garamond, and Times New
Roman are good for large blocks of text
● Arial and Comic Sans are good for headlines
● Make limited use of CAPITAL LETTERS
27. Step 6: Create infographic and cite
sources
● Use tool to create infographic
● Rubric Overview
● Don’t forget citations
