3 SPACE : PLANETS The International Astronomical Union ( IAU ) recognizes that there are 8 planets in total. However, the discovery of Pluto in 1930 caused controversy among astronomers. While it was said that there were 9 planets in total and considered as a planet when it was discovered, The International Astronomical Union decided to call Pluto a dwarf planet in 2006.

All planets are grouped under 3 main headings;

-TERRESTRIAL PLANETS: As the name suggest, they took this name because a large part of their surface consist of land. Earth, Mars, Venus also called inner planets, are among this group. -JOVIAN PLANETS: Unlike terrestrial planets, they are larger and gaseous. These planets, also called exoplanets, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. -DWARF PLANETS: The dwarf planet that defined as ‘’ The rotation of another object around the Sun without a satellite, being big enough to rotate by its own gravity and having a clean orbit’’ is Pluto. Before moving on to the order of planets in the Solar system, let’s talk about the properties of the Sun;

SUN

The Sun, which is a star, consist almost entirely of helium and hydrogen gas. The distance of the sun, the closest star to the Earth, to our planet is 149.500.000. It rotates around its axis at a speed of 70,000 km per hour. It completes a full tour in 25 days.

MERCURY Mercury is the closest planet to Sun and there is a distance of 58.910.000 km between them. The temperature of the face facing the Sun reaches 450 degress. İt drops to -170 degrees that night. Its area is 74.800.000 km and it is the smallest planet in the solar system. The planet Mercury has no satellites. İts orbit is 88 days and is the fastest planet in the Solar system. 4 VENUS

Venus, the second planet of the Solar system, is close to Earth in size. It is hotter than Mercury, it is known to heat up to 456 degrees. Its distance from the Sun is 108.200.000 km, and the Sun completes one complete rotation around it in224.7 Earth days. Venus is very hot because it does not release the Sun rays and there is no season because it does not have an Axis tilt Unlike the other planets, Venus rotates in the opposite direction. WORLD Our planet is the 3rd planet closest to the Sun. Earth’s atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other gases. İt is the only known planet that can be lived. Each year 1.5 cm away from the Sun. It completes its rotation around itself in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds. Around the Sun, it takes 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds for 365 days.

MARS The 4th plane Mars turns red due to he iron oxide on it. It has two stellates named Phobos and Deimos. 144.800.000 km square. Average temperature on Mars is known as -60 degrees. It is the planet that is thought to be life because it is very similar to Earth and therefore it was the planet that was sent the most spacecraft.

JUPITER Jupiter, the fifth planet closest to the Sun, has a small core and is mainly composed of liquid hydrogen. Its radius is 69,911 km and it is the largest planet in the Solar system. Jupiter also has a storm that has been going on for about 350 years, so a red stain appears to it. One complete rotation around the Sun takes 12 years. It has 79 satellites and the largest is ‘’ Ganymede’’. The average temperature of Jupiter is -140 degrees.

5 SATURN It is the 6th closest planet to the Sun. It is the lowest density planet in the Solar system. Known for its rings of rocks and ice, Saturn has 62 moons. It has 62 moons. It completes one full rotation around the Sun in 29.5 years.

URANUS It is the 7th planet closest to the Sun. Its equator is the only planet that is almost perpendicular to its orbit. Astronomers interpret this as the result of collision with a planet-sized object long ago. This slope has resulted in seasons lasting more than 20 years. It has 13 rings around it. Its average temperature is -224 degrees. Only one spacecraft ever visited Uranus

NEPTUNE It is the farthest planet from the Sun. Neptune, with a radius of 24.622 km, completes a full tour in its orbit in 165 years. Its average temperature is -214 degrees. Neptune, which is 17 times the size of the Earth, has 14 moons. It is constantly stormy and storms occur at a speed of 1340 km per second

DWARF PLANET PLUTO Pluto, which is mostly made up of rocks, completes one complete orbit in 248 year. It is 1/6 of the Moon and is made of gas, rock and ice. Its radius is 1,188,3 km.

6 EXTINCT ANIMALS

Dinosaurs At least 500 living species have been extinct in the world so far. Among these endangered animals, dinosaurs are of course the best known. Dinosaurs dominated land life for 160 million years. Until today, many claims have been made about how dinosaurs disappeared. The view put forward by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Luis Alvarez and geologist Walter Alvarez is that 'the generations of dinosaurs ended 65 million years ago when an asteroid hit Earth. Of the 1000 dinosaur species on earth, it is known to have been extinct 65 million years ago.

Caspian Tiger Caspian tiger in the west, Turkey, Iran, the Caucasus, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Mongolia, and of course the name with which it lived around the northern part of the Caspian Sea. It is known that the Caspian tigers died out in 1970 with the death of the last member of the species in Russia.

Moa Bird Although moa are considered to be the biggest bird species in the world, their generations have been destroyed by humans. It lives in the forests and plains of New Zealand. They are a bird that can’t fly. They were not carnivores. They ate only grasses, fruits, and leaves.

Tasmanian Wolf The Tasmanian wolf, a large carnivorous marsupial native to Australia, lived until the 1930s. Kangaroos, sheep and birds are their staple food. The reason for extinction is that those who migrated from Europe began to destroy nature.

North Pacific Whales North Pacific whales have become extinct rapidly, especially due to the whaling that started in the 1960s. The age of these whales, which weigh 70 tons, is revealed thanks to their teeth. They feed on dense copepod and Cyrillic populations.

7 Feathered Mammoth Feathered Mammoths, which went extinct 4000 years ago, lived in the polar regions of Asia and North America. They became extinct as they were hunted by humans for their flesh, bones, and teeth. They fed on grass and straw weed.

Irish Deer The Irish Deer, known as the largest deer species ever to exist, is claimed to have become extinct 7700 years ago. Human hunting has a great contribution to their extinction. Same time; the decrease in the calcium resources required for the large horns because the retreating ice is effective in this animal extinction.

The Golden Frog It is stated that the Golden Toad living in Costa Rica became extinct in 1939. Climate change brought about by global warming has caused the extinction. It can also eat other insects that live in the moist soils of the forest, such as crickets, bugs, flies or termites.

Pinta Island Turtle The last Pinta Island Turtle living in Pinta, one of the Galapagos archipelagos, died in 2012 when he was 100 years old. They feed on herbs, leaves, cacti, lichens, and fruits. Like other saddleback turtles, the Pinta Island subspecies lived mainly in arid plains, but probably made seasonal migrations at higher altitudes to more humid areas.

Black Western Rhino They became extinct in 2011 as a result of illegal hunting. The black rhino is an animal from the order of "ungulates" living in Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. They feed on leaves, fruit and soft plant parts of trees.

8 SUMMARY OF THE YEAR 2020

1-) THE ADVENT OF THE TURKEY CORONA VIRUS AND CONTAINMENT OF EFFECTS OF The description of this article is 3 pages later. 2-) 2020 IS THE HOTTEST YEAR One of the most important issues that marked the year 2020 was the impact of climate change on the world. In 2020, where more attention was paid to fires, melting glaciers and greenhouse gas emissions, thermometers in Yakutsk region in Siberia, known as the coldest place in the world, went up to 38 degrees, while the United Nations announced that 2020 was the hottest year ever measured.

3-) 100 THOUSAND FIRES IN AMAZON FORESTS With the statement made in October, the number of fires in the Amazon forests, which broke out about 100 thousand fires in 2020, reached the peak of the last 12 years. While the Amazon forests, known as the “lungs of the world”, provide 20 percent of the earth’s oxygen, in 2020, natural life was damaged more and more every day in the forests where 10 percent of the world’s plant and animal species live.

4-) BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT The non-governmental organization named “Black Lives Matter”, founded in 2013, organized demonstrations in the USA and even in various parts of the world after 46-year-old George Floyd was unable to breathe for a long time and died. While the Black Lives Matter movement, which was attended by nearly 20 million people from various parts of the world, became one of the biggest movements in the world history, the US police announced that more than 10 thousand protesters were detained. As the protests across the country turned into violence and looting, a “curfew” was declared in many cities and the National Guard was assigned to control the events 5-) BEYRUT PORT EXPLOSION On August 4, a fire broke out in the warehouse number 12 in the Port of Beirut, where explosives were found, and then a very powerful explosion took place that shook the whole city. President Michel Naim Aoun said that the explosion was caused by 2,750 tons of Ammonium nitrate kept in a warehouse at the port for 6 years.

9 6-) YEARS LATER, SATURN AND URANUS MET The ‘great conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn has been seen with the naked eye for the first time in 800 years. The’ Jupiter- Saturn Convergence ‘occurred on December 21, 2020. The Solar System’s two largest planets have been seen so close to each other for the first time in 800 years. The two planets appeared like a “double planet” above the horizon just after sunset. Many people have had the chance to watch this event with the naked eye, seen hundreds of years later.

7-) KOBE BRYANT The year 2020 was recorded as the year in which two great athletes who made their mark on the history of sports died. On January 26, 2020, Kobe Bryant, 41, one of the legendary players of the American Basketball League (NBA), died in a helicopter crash in the city of Calabasas. Having won 5 NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, who lost his life in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, was chosen 18 times as an all-star, won the most valuable player (MVP) of the regular season in 2008 and the final series in 2009 and 2010, USA the death of Kobe Bryant, who won a gold medal in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics with his national team, drowned the sports world. 8-) NASA CONFIRMED WATER PRESENCE ON THE MONTH In a written statement by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Infrared Astronomy Stratosphere Observatory has confirmed for the first time the presence of water on the sunny surface of the Moon. This discovery shows that the water may have been scattered on the lunar surface and not limited to cold and shady places. ‘’ Expression was given. In addition, in September, the US Aviation and Space Agency (NASA) announced that it plans to send two astronauts to the Moon in 2024, and a male and a female astronaut will be sent to the surface of the Moon in 2024 under the program called “Artemis”. 9-) DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD On May 25, while 46 George Floyd was detained in Minneapolis on suspicion of fraud in the USA, the words “I can’t breathe” for minutes when a policeman pressed his neck with his knee for a long time was one of the highlights of this year. It was announced that Floyd died in the hospital where he was taken to the hospital where he was taken by emergency medical teams, and the footage recorded by passers-by on their mobile phones attracted great reaction on social media. Thereupon, discussions of police violence against black people flared up again and sparked protests in the city, including in Minneapolis. 10 CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19)

What is the “Corona”? Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause respiratory illness in humans. They get their name “Corona” from the many crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and the common cold are examples of Coronaviruses that cause illness in humans.

Where did “Corona” show up? The new strain of Coronavirus, COVID-19, was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and It has been continuing at the present time. Doctors haven’t been giving exact ending date.

How many people have been affected by the “Corona” so far? According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 111,000,000 people in the world have been infected. Over 2,400,000 people have died. Some 192 countries and territories on all continents (except Antarctica) have now reported cases of COVID-19. The U.S. has the highest number of cases, with more than 28,000,000 people infected and nearly 500,000 deaths at.

Which does “Corona” affect your body? COVID-19 enters your body through your mouth, nose or eyes (directly from the airborne droplets or from transfer of the virus from your hands to your face). The virus travels to the back of your nasal passages and mucous membrane in the back of your throat. It attaches to cells there, begins to multiply and moves into lung tissue. From there, the virus can spread to other body tissues.

11 Where does “Corona” come from? Coronaviruses are often found in bats, cats and camels. The viruses live in but do not infect the animals. Sometimes these viruses then spread to different animal species. The viruses may change (mutate) as they transfer to other species. Eventually, the virus can jump from animal species and begins to infect humans. In the case of COVID-19, the first people infected in Wuhan, China are thought to have contracted the virus at a food market that sold meat, fish and live animals but they are still investigating. Also, they already have evidence that the virus can be spread directly from person to person through close contact.

What is the best way to defend from “Corona”? Until everything about COVID-19 is fully understood, the best advice from healthcare providers to remain safe is to: ⦁ Stay six feet away from others whenever possible. ⦁ Wear a cloth mask that covers your mouth and nose when around others. ⦁ Wash your hands often. If soap is not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. ⦁ Avoid crowded indoor spaces. Bring in outdoor air as much as possible. ⦁ Stay self-isolated at home if you are feeling ill with symptoms that could be COVID-19 or have a positive test for COVID-19. ⦁ Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.

What is the corona vaccine? What does the corona vaccine protect us from? To bring this pandemic to an end, a large share of the world needs to be immune to the virus. The safest way to achieve this is with a vaccine. Vaccines are a technology that humanity has often relied on in the past to bring down the death toll of infectious diseases. Within less than 12 months after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, several research teams rose to the challenge and developed vaccines that protect from SARS- CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

1-) IS THERE SUCH A PROFESSION?

In Amsterdam, People Hunt Cycling, Not Fish, As A Full Time Job

Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is world famous for its beautiful

canals and about 2 million bicycles that the inhabitants of the Netherlands can TUĞBA AK pedal. When these two features come together, the city needs a very special profession: Bicycle hunting. According to the report in Public Radio International, workers use hydraulic grabs to remove about 15,000 bikes from the canals every year .They have been doing this job since the 1960s and it looks like they will continue to do this for a long time .So why are the Dutch throwing their bicycles

into the canal end masse? There are various explanations on this subject, but according to some, this event dates back to the past: The canals in Amsterdam used to be the city’s sewage system. Also, in the Dutch capital, bicycles are seen as a cheap means of transport rather than an expensive investment. Most of these bikes that paint the bottom of the canals are probably old models.

Queue Keeper

with you. If you use this time with good quality this job would be a good TUBA USLU TUBA

choice for you. I forgot. Sometimes people don’t want to wait because of bad weather, not because of long queues. If you are going to do this job, you must have good body resistance.

runway where the plane will land, he jumped in his car and went to BUDAK the runway to distribute the flock. The person who fires warning shots when necessary, is therefore called the airport scarecrow.

2-) HOW DO YOU STUDY?

First of all, most of the time I study alone because if we get

together in group, we will dive into the conversation so, studying alone is best. Besides that, I study in my room, sitting on my chair because when I lie down on the sofa, I feel sleepy, but honestly, this is very pleasurable and sometimes I do. When I study in low light, I feel as sleepy as when I study on the sofa. I guess I am looking for an excuse to sleep. That’s why, I listen to music when I write something, but only when I write something because I get very confused if I listen to music when I memorize something or solve tests. Finally, I don’t have any regular schedule because I study all the time, even at the weekends but the most important thing for me is to take AYTÖRE SAFİYE GENÇER AYTÖRE regular breaks and I pay close attention to this, usually every thirty minutes because when I don’t take any break, my productivity decreases, most of the time I don’t want to study again.

22 3-) DO YOU TALK FROM FAMILIES AS A NEW GENERATION?

Let’s start with how important families are in our country. Families are the most important structure of

our country, but unfortunately, family structures have TAYYİBESARIGÜLZEYNEP changed in the last ten years. For example, my father has 14 siblings but I have only 2. So, I think present families are smaller than old ones. I think in the future families will be smaller than present families and the authority within the family will decrease. At least, according to present families. Of course the most authoritarian families are the past ones. Because in the past, families lived with their elderly parents and elderly parents provided authority in the family, unfortunately this authority does not exist in today’s families. People send their elderly parents to the nursing home. However, this task is not government’s job. People don’t want to take care of their parents as they get older. I find this very ridiculous. I think whatever happens, you should take care of the people who grew up you. That is all. Thanks for listening.

4-) SHOULD ZOOS BE CLOSED?

In zoos, people can see animals they have never seen before. That’s why people think zoos are beautiful and useful places. So, does this fun also apply to animals? Or have you ever thought about these situations in terms of animals? Today I will talk

about whether zoos should be closed or not. I believe zoos or animal theme parks should be closed. Because zoos limit animals’ right to life. If you’ve ever visited a zoo, you may have noticed that animals are often unhappy. In fact, animals that stay in the zoo for years and are then released to nature cannot adapt to nature and die. It is also a harmful event in terms of this species population. Although the main purpose of zoos is to protect the species, zoos should be closed because living conditions are

ZEYNEP İKBAL BUDAK ZEYNEP BUDAK İKBAL restricted for the animals whose species are not at risk. Although zoos are good places to protect species, they should be closed as they have come out of this purpose over time. The most logical solution is to open centers to protect only the species at risk instead of zoos. 23 5-) LET’S TALK SOMETHING ABOUT HOMEWORK

Extremism of Homework Most of the students believe that homework is needless and waste of time. In my judgment, there is not an exact answer for this. Because

banning of homework is unacceptable but this is such a condition that we find GÜMÜŞ FİRDEVS ourselves protesting homework. Because sometimes students feel like they are struggling with torment when they do homework. In my opinion, we should tackle this both as beneficial homework. Of course, doing practice or revising the subject that we learnt are the main rules of learning something. But I do not think that we are supposed to write or prepare a presentation about the things that we learnt. I mean, writing or reading page after page of notes can cause us to lose interest about it. That’s why, homework should be given in moderation and if it is necessary. In this way, learning will get easy in every part of education for students. Because the easiest way to learn is to find a way to remember the information and it is almost impossible to remember the information that seems like a torment to us while learning.

6-) SHOULD WE BAN HOMEWORK?

Homework is the most important problem of education. The reason of this, there are positive aspects in both ways. In my opinion, we shouldn’t ban because problem is not the homework, but the lack of

ER quality and quantity. According to the research, Ç children who do homework less than three hours a day are more successful than children who do more

because by dint of practical, research and creative YE YE GEN

İ homework, this time is enough. Students who do homework in this way both refresh their knowledge, become responsible, and they can spend time for themselves. On the other hand, if we ban homework, they only become sociable and they will be missing

from other qualities. In a nutshell, what we need to do AYTÖRE SAF AYTÖRE is not to ban homework, but to pay attention to its quantity and quality. By means of this, children can develop in many ways.

24 7-) CAN YOU TALK ABOUT SOME MUSIC?

The Way to Peace is Very Simple What do you do when you really get tired of the lessons? Do you want me to tell you something that is not bothers, addictive you and really good? We’ve all been with music since we were little. When you were little, you made a rhythm by hitting something. Our mothers make us sleep with lullabies, and there are songs that you learn in kindergarten. We start playing instrument in primary school. So, we get acquainted with music. Sometimes when we are sad and sometimes when we are happy, music is always good for us. Today I will tell you the importance of music and play instrument first and then why it should be taught in schools. TUBAUSLU Firstly, why is music important? When you listen to music and playing instrument, your heartbeat changes and adapts to the rhythm of the music you are listening to. Thus, music calms us down. When making an important decision or when you get very angry, decide what to do by listening to music. You will see that you will have made very correct decisions. You will also prevent future heart problems because the heart learns better with music to go in a rhythm. Secondly, Homework and exams usually given in schools make us very nervous. When we get home, we want to do homework and go to bed as we are tired. So, how can we get rid of this stress the easiest? Of course, with music. As I said before, when we are calm, we think and understand better. Music lessons between classes both relax us and raise our average. Be sure, increase our loyalty to each other as well as the musical instruments that we rhythm with your friends and play. Wouldn’t it be nice if you were playing the same song all together? In Conclusion, every moment we grew up we were in music and in rhythm. We also experienced the pleasure of playing an instrument. We have noticed that these can relieve both our heart and mental health. I hope you like playing an instrument, too.

8-) WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR IDEAL SCHOOL?

I think, ideal school is a good teacher-student relationship. Also, the prestige of school is important. We should have workshops where we can improve ourselves in all fields. I think, educators should support students in the professions they want to do. According to me, people shouldn’t judge students in the lesson they can’t do. If these happen, students won’t anyway choose profession to earn money.

They will choose their professions for what FİRDEVS FİRDEVS GÜMÜŞ they want to do. In this way, the school will be a more fun place for students.

25 I AM A STUDENT

How to Be Successful? There are many things you need to do to be successful. First, you have to set yourself a goal. Second of all, you have to find out how you better understand a subject covered in the lesson, that is, discover which direction your own perception tends to be. There are three aspects of comprehension, these understand by hearing, seeing or writing. You can understand by listening to the teacher in the lesson, your auditory comprehension aspect is at the forefront, or if the subject remains in your mind as your teacher wrote on the board, your visual understanding is at the forefront, if not both of these and you can understand give up the subject better by taking notes, your understanding by writing is at the forefront. If you discover how you understand better, you will work extra emphasis on that direction and you will be more successful. Third, you have to work hard. Finally, you should never

29 Theatre Reflection

Romeo And Juliet Written by William Shakespeare, this play is undoubtedly one of the rare plays that made its mark in history. It is one of the most well-known works of the author. This play, which impressed everyone who reads and watches, is thought to have been written between 1591 and 1596. The plot of the play is the tragic love of Romeo and Juliet. Although at first, they are with different people, they fall in love as soon as they see each other. They do not approve of this love because their families are enemy to each other, but they marry in secret, but this reunion, unfortunately, does not last long. These lovers, who struggle so much to reunite, die tragically on this way. Families who learn that their children are dead, reconcile by ending hostility. But it is too late for everything. Shakespeare has carefully chosen every word in his work and has literally been kept alive by those who read it. If you are looking for a theater to read or watch, I recommend Romeo and Juliet. Because their love is worth watching. Although it ends tragically …

Wisdom Saves

Once, a wise monkey lived on a big mango tree on a river bank. Very near lived a crocodile in the river. They became intimate friends. Quite often the monkey gave ripe mangoes to his friend. One day, the crocodile demanded some mangoes for his wife. She had never tasted mangoes in her life. The generous monkey picked a big ripe mango and gave it to the crocodile. The crocodile’s wife liked the delicious mango very much. She was very cunning and wicked. She thought of eating the monkey itself. “One who eats such sweet mangoes, his heart must be very sweet,” said she. The poor crocodile was upset. He told his wife clearly that he would never allow to get such a friend killed. But the wicked wife made the crocodile’s life really miserable. At last, he gave in. The next day he went to the mango tree. He invited the monkey to have lunch with them. He took the monkey on his back. When they were in the middle of the river, the crocodile revealed the truth. His wife actually wanted to eat his heart. The wise monkey was quiet for a moment. Then he hit upon a plan. He said, “I’ve left my heart hanging on the mango tree. I want to go back and bring it.” Soon they were under the tree. The monkey lost no time in climbing up on the topmost branch. He pointed to his heart and said, “My heart is inside me. Go away and never come near the mango tree again. It’s the end of our friendship.” ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………….
