The Art Masters
Make a comic strip to present a conversation between
Sun and the other planets.

MATH-e-MANIA
How big are our planets?
One way to find out the size of a planet is by knowing its
radius. Find out the radius of all the planets of our Solar
System. Use the divisibility tests to determine whether
their size is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 or not.
Record your finding in a tabular form and present it in your
magazine.
ACTIVITY TIME
Le the readers learn to make a pinhole camera.
Enumerate the steps for making the camera.
You can supplement the steps by suitable drawings
to make it more interesting. You may refer to the following

EXPLORING LUNAR PHASES
Lunar phases of the moon look different depending on
which half of the world you are looking at it from. If
you are viewing the moon from the southern
hemisphere, the moon would be illuminated from the
other side from the southern hemisphere (i.e. the
waning moon would be illuminated on the Right). Based
on this fact draw the phases of the moon as seen on
the northern hemisphere and the southern
hemisphere.
DISCOVER MORE
Mankind has always wondered about the origin of the universe.
Similarly your readers too must have the same kind of question. One
popular theory is that the universe originated because of the ‘Big
Bang’. So, collect the information on the “Big Bang” and answer
thefollowing questions for your readers:a. What is the universe made up of?
b. Where in the universe did the Big Bang happen?
c. What is dark matter?
d. Can you name a few things that contradict the ‘Big Bang” theory?
ASTRO HEALTH
Make a healthy dish using natural ingredients and
share its recipe with your readers.
BRAIN TEASERS
Solve these questions and let your reader learn the tricks
to Mathematics.
Problem 1 - The radius of the Moon is 1,737 kilometers,
and the radius of Earth is 6,378 kilometers. What is the
ratio of Earth's radius to the Moon's?
Problem 2 - To the nearest whole number, about how
many times bigger than the Moon is Earth?
Problem 3 –We all know that our weight reduces by one
sixth when we go on the moon. Keeping this in mind
calculate the weight on moon of a man whose weight on
earth is 89 Kg. By how much does his weight reduce on
the moon?
STAR GAZING
Share with your readers the pictures, facts and history
of the Hubble Telescope? Is there a new telescope that
can replace the Hubble Telescope? If yes, then name it
and also state that how is it better than the Hubble
Telescope?
POETIC EXPRESSIONS
That little poet in all of us, eager to write that one
masterpiece, that poem of our feelings
expressions in our mother tongue Hindi.

RIDDLE TIME
1. I'm the planet that everyone calls “Red,”
But really my soil is rust-coloured instead.
Look up and you may spot me in the sky,
I'm the orange-coloured dot, way up high.
Which planet am I? _________________
2. With over 63 moons, you might say I have a lot.
Look with a telescope to see my big, red spot.
The spot is a wind storm, swirling around.
High in the night sky is where I can be found.
Which planet am I? _________________
3. I'm blue and green and a little brown.
I'm a small planet with life all around.
They call me the third rock from the sun.
I don't have many moons - just one.
Which planet am I? _________________
4. No matter how hard you look, you'll never find me,
Unless you have a telescope to help you see.
I was once called a planet, but not anymore.
Now I'm just a “Dwarf Planet,” but too important to ignore.
Which planet am I? _______________
