Black Hole Dominoes

This worksheet introduces students to the interconnected sequence of events that form and define a black hole through a “domino effect” model. Students complete a chart by matching causes with their corresponding effects, filling in any missing links to complete the chain of stellar evolution. The structure encourages logical sequencing, pattern recognition, and cause-and-effect reasoning in scientific processes. Learners apply their understanding of nuclear fusion, supernovae, and gravitational collapse to connect each stage. The visual format reinforces scientific thinking and supports comprehension of complex astrophysical concepts.
