I'm giving a lecture on black holes to 7th graders... what are things that I should include? They're presupposed to have had Algebra 1 (Elementary, not Abstract Algebra ;)) and a good background in simple Newtonian physics (calculation of force, energy, weight, etc. along with very basic E&M). Any ideas?
