Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and closest to the Sun, making it difficult to observe from Earth. It has a surface resembling the Moon, with many impact craters and nearly zero gravity. Mercury's surface temperatures range greatly from -183°C to 427°C. It is one of the four terrestrial planets but has a large iron core generating a weak magnetic field compared to Earth. Mercury has no natural satellites and its plains-dominated surface closely resembles the lunar mare of the Moon.

Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is larger than Neptune in diameter but smaller in mass. Uranus rotates in a retrograde direction and takes 84 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun. Uranus is often referred to as an "ice giant" with an atmosphere composed primarily of hydrogen, helium, and methane that gives it a pale blue color. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus, flying past in 1986 and returning the first close-up images of the planet and its moons and rings.
Mars
Mars is named after the Roman god of war due to its red color. It has the largest volcano and canyon in the solar system. Mars has polar ice caps and evidence suggests water ice exists at the poles and mid-latitudes. Many space probes have explored Mars, with about 1/3 failing. The idea of intelligent life on Mars was popular in the late 19th century. Mars represents masculinity and youth in different cultures and is featured in many modern films and books.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter of 69,911 km. It is the fifth planet from the Sun and has over 67 moons. Jupiter has a mass that is 0.001 times that of the Sun but over two and a half times the total mass of all other planets. The planet's atmosphere consists mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Mars Planet
Mars is approximately half the size of Earth and has a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. It has the largest volcano and canyon in the solar system. Early concepts suggested canals and life on Mars but spacecraft like Mariner 4 revealed only impact craters and naturally occurring channels. Viking landers found no clear evidence of living microbes. However, past rover missions like Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity continue to find evidence that water once flowed on the Martian surface, making the possibility of past life an ongoing area of investigation. Future exploration plans aim to further understand Mars' potential for habitability.

SPIDERS -DIDACTIC MATERIALS ON BIOLOGY LESSONS
Spiders are predators that feed on insects and small animals. While some spiders are poisonous, only a few species are actually harmful to humans. Spiders have different hunting methods - tarantulas weave silk fibers to catch prey, while others are good at jumping or reacting quickly. Venomous spiders inject venom to paralyze or begin digesting their prey, though not all spider venom is dangerous to humans. Exotic and venomous spiders tend to have more complex webs that help protect them and aid survival.

Each strand is a sequence of four chemical bases - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The order of these bases provides the genetic code that makes each organism unique. This discovery was groundbreaking in explaining how genetic information is stored and passed down. It revolutionized the fields of biology, genetics, and medicine. Watson and Crick, along with Maurice Wilkins, were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their work unraveling the structure and function of DNA.

Course in Rhodes - presentation for the Pedagogical Council
From October 21-25, 2023, a group of five teachers from a Polish school participated in an Erasmus+ staff training in Rhodes, Greece. The training focused on implementing new activating methods in non-formal education and was organized by the New Horizons Center and trainer Marilena Ciontescu. Teachers from Poland and Romania attended workshops and shared experiences using field and classroom activities. The document discusses key 21st century skills like critical thinking, creativity, communication and cooperation. It also outlines various teaching methods that can be used for outdoor, non-formal, and informal education like burstering, the coffee table method, gamification and using board games.
AIR POLLUTION
The document presents air quality data from a sensor located at a school over a period of time. It records the weather conditions and measurements of particulate matter (PM2.5) at different dates and times. The conclusion is that as winter approaches, lower temperatures require more home heating which produces smog and causes the air quality measured by PM2.5 levels to gradually deteriorate.
Air pollution
This document discusses various types of air pollution including smog, acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and the ozone hole. Smog occurs when dust and chemicals float in humid air, posing health risks. It contains sulfur dioxide from burning fuels. Acid rain forms when sulfur and nitrogen oxides from fuel combustion react with water, lowering the pH. The greenhouse effect involves carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion. The ozone hole is a phenomenon where chlorine from freon compounds thins the ozone layer, increasing UV exposure.

Mathematics in art by Gtoup 5
The document discusses the Fibonacci sequence and its use in art and architecture. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. Leonardo Da Vinci and other artists like Johannes Vermeer and Michelangelo used the proportions of the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio in their famous works like the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and The Creation of Adam to achieve harmonious and aesthetically pleasing compositions. Architects also employed the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio principles in the design of landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal.
