The Sun is the closest star to Earth and governs the Solar System. It is about 13,00,000 times bigger than Earth and composed of a dense core, radiative zone, and convective zone. Its atmosphere consists of the photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. Nuclear fusion in the core powers the Sun, primarily through the proton-proton chain. Magnetic activity on the Sun includes sunspots and solar flares. The Sun will eventually exhaust its nuclear fuel and expand into a red giant star before shrinking into a white dwarf over its lifetime of approximately 10 billion years.
Maybe too in-depth for most elementary students, but very good broad coverage for teacher background or more advanced students in elementary or middle school.
The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year.

Science teaching is a complex activity that lies at the heart of the vision of science education presented in the Standards. The teaching standards provide criteria for making judgments about progress toward the vision; they describe what teachers of science at all grade levels should understand and be able to do.
Life of every organism depends on certain basic processes. Excretion is one among them. Different organisms follow different modes of excretion. In complex organisms including humans, there is a specialized system for excretion called human excretory system.
The primitive blueprint for the heart and circulatory system emerged with the arrival of the third mesodermal germ layer in bilaterians. Since then, hearts in animals have evolved from a single layered tube to a multiple chambered heart in due course of time.
Cell Signaling is a phenomenon in which cells receive and respond to the signals or chemical messages from their internal environment or from the neighbouring cells.
Flight in bird is one of the most complex forms of locomotion in the animal kingdom. Flight in birds includes hovering, taking off and landing which involves many complex movements.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. Atmosphere of Sun
Sun’s
atmosphere
starts from and
above the
surface layer
named
‘Photosphere’.
The layer above Photosphere, with the thickness of
~2,000 KM is ‘Chromosphere’.
The outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere is
known as ‘Corona’, it extends upto millions of
kilometer above Chromosphere.
Chromosphere and Corona is visible only during Total
Solar Eclipse.
5. Photosphere
It is less than 500 KM deep. The
photoshpere is the layer in the
Sun’s atmosphere that is dense
enough to emit plenty of light
but not so dense that the light
can’t escape.
It is very-low-density gas. The
density is 3400 times less dense
than the air we breath.
The layer below photosphere is
dense and can produce
continuous spectra, but atoms in
the photosphere absorb
photons of specific wavelengths
producing absorption lines.
6. The layer has a mottled
appearance because it is
made up of dark-edged
regions.
It is known as granules and
pattern is called as
granulation.
Granule lasts for 10 to 20
minutes. Spectra shows
that centers are a few
hundred degrees hotter
than the edges, and Doppler
shifts reveals that the
centers are rising and the
edges are sinking at the
speed of 1 km/sec.
7. Chromosphere
Chromosphere is 1000 times fainter
than the photosphere.
Characteristic flash seen during the
total solar eclipse in pink colour is
produced in chromosphere – it is a
combination of emission lines in red,
blue and violet Balmer line.
Chromosphere has low-density gas. It
is about 108 times less dense than the
air we breath.
At the bottom of layer temperature
is low (4300 K) but then rises rapidly.
The region where temperature rises
rapidly is called transition region.
8. Corona
Spectrum of corona showed that the
temperature is in the order of million
degree. It is not bright because it is very
low density gas only 1-10 atoms/cm3.
The study showed that the light from
outer corona is reflected sunlight i.e.
outer corona contains dust particles that
reflects sunlight in all directions.
Corona is the region where high speed
winds are getting generated known as
Solar Wind. It has the velocity of 300-
800 km/sec.
10. CORE
of the sun
It extends from 0 to 0.25 solar radii.
It has the density of 150g/cm3.
It has the temperature of 13.6 to 15 million K.
It is the fastest rotating part.
All of its energy generate in the core through nuclear fusion.
98% is through p-p chain and 2% is through CNO cycle.
11. Radiative Zone
This is a region where
the sharp regime
change between the
uniform rotation of
the radiative zone and
the differential
rotation of the
convection zone
It starts from 0.25 to 0.70 solar radii.
It is hot and dense which helps in transferring
the matter from core to outer part through
radiation.
Material from bottom to top gets cooler with the
altitude (7 million to 2 million K).
12. Magnetic Activities on the Sun
Solar Flare
A solar flare is a violent
explosion in the Sun's
atmosphere with an
energy equivalent to
tens of millions of
hydrogen bombs.
13. Sun Spot
Sunspot is the easily observable
magnetic activity on the Sun’s surface.
Because of their cooler temperature
region at the magnetic region it appears
as a dark spot.
The temperature of the sunspot is of
the order of 4250K as compared to
surrounding of 5700 K.
It has a inside dark part known as
umbra and outside lighter part known
as penumbra.
The presence of magnetic filed in the
sunspot was first observed by Gorge
Ellery Hale in 1908 through the Zeeman
Effect.
