Konichiwah**! my name is cherr dawg I’m currently an **8th** grader at the [|Amigos School]. I’m doing this WiKi so that you know what I learned and maybe you'll learn from this. Have you ever wondered how stars & planets were formed ? How we were formed ?. Well I got the answer!. My topic relates to the guest speaker because that’s how I got my information & that’s what I took notes on.

The person that came to talk to us was Mr. Blackburn. He is studying to get his doctorate degree at MIT, which stands for [|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]. He came to our class to teach us more about the geology of our planet and other planets and how there tectonic plates move.

The way he would do that was by showing us pictures and then explaining what each picture meant or represented. When he did that I took notes on it & that’s how I gathered information.

My topic is how the planets and stars are formed. There formed by pillars. Pillars are nebulas made of dust that makes stars, when those pillars heat and and melt they spin and bump into each other making them bigger and bigger and that’s how planets are formed. The planets that are closer to the sun are hotter & more solid. The ones that are in the middle are called Big Gas Giants and they have more gas and more dense. Density is the measurement of mass and volume. Also that tectonic plates are only found on earth. Earth has layers and other planets. This is all that I learned from the quest speaker. I thought it he explained the things well and now I understand it more. Well I hope you learned from my WiKi.

Information about Mr. Terry Blackburn//'s departement !//
Terry and his department study the depths of our glaxy and many others. They feel as though it provides important information about our planet and other planet's futures. They examine the history and interactions of these systems in order to predict future events with better accuracy. Tery's department works on the elements of geology, geochemistry, geophysics, geobiology, atmospheric science, oceanography, astronomy, and planetary science.
