Weekly Blog : Victor N. 8B Scientist Wanted Poster Summary Born on September 29, 1901 from an intelligent teacher, Enrico Fermi had great interest in physics as young kid. At the age of 33, he discovered nuclear transformation, which led to discovery of slowing down neutrons and nuclear fission. In America, he discovered that if uranium neutrons were emitted into fissioning uranium, it would have a chain reaction. He had other experiments which led to the creation of the world’s first nuclear reactor in Chicago. SP8 - Communicating Information This week, I communicated information when I created a scientist wanted poster about Enrico Fermi. I spent days doing research on a scientist I chose, and I chose Enrico Fermi. Using what I learned about him, I made a scientist wanted poster.

Weekly Blog : Victor N. 8B Image Location Summary Do you ever wonder what’s in space? In space, we have the solar system which contains 8 common planets and thousands of other minor and dwarf planets. We also have galaxies which are held in by the universal force called gravity, and it holds billions of stars. There are 3 types of galaxies: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. The spiral galaxy has a distinct winding shape. The elliptical galaxy has a spherical shape. The irregular galaxy is different and has unique shapes which make it irregular. Elliptical galaxies contain mostly older stars. Black holes come from the collapse in the core of a supernova. During a nuclear fusion, 4 hydrogen atoms are fused together to make one helium atom. This is why hydrogen is the most common chemical element in most stars. An astronomer would the measure of distance between stars is light years because you are dealing with things outside of the solar system. When dealing with things inside
