Are there any good web sites about black holes for 6th grade students?

Well...here is a collection that MAY be helpful, but you will have to simplify most of the discussions. To really understand what is going on, the students needs to have a good working knowledge of space and simple physics otherwise the discussion just sound like a meaningless jumble of technical words.

1. MPEG movie plus text by Robert Nemirof. A tour of black holes via animation
2. Everything you've always wanted to know these are simple discussions with some FAQs answered.
