WRITE FIVE SENTENCES WITH THE WORDS IN THE BOX: (2,5 points)
What is the solar system? It is our Sun and everything that travels around it. Our solar system is elliptical in shape. That means it is shaped like an egg. The Sun is in the center of the solar system. Our solar system is always in motion. Eight known planets and their moons, along with comets , asteroids , and other space objects orbit the Sun. The Sun is the biggest object in our solar system. It contains more than 99% of the solar system's mass . Astronomers think the solar system is more than 4 billion years old.Astronomers are now finding new objects far, far from the Sun which they call dwarf planets. Pluto , which was once called a planet, is now called a dwarf planet.
LET’S SEE THE SOLAR SYSTEM
SPEAKING TASK
The Solar System is a very huge and enormous thing. It is full of planets, comets, meteorites, asteroids… Do you think you could live in another planet? Why? Why not?
COMPREHENSION ACTIVITIES
1. What is the Solar System?
2. Our Solar System is _________ in shape.
3. Where is the Sun in the Solar System?
4. How many planets are there in the S.S.?
5. What objects are orbiting the Sun?
6. What is the biggest object in the S.S.?
7. What are Astronomers finding now?
8. Which planet is now called “dwarf planet”?
9. Find these words in the dictionary: elliptical, moon, planet, comet, asteroid, astronomer.
THE SUN
The Sun is our closest star. It is a member of the Milky Way galaxy . The Sun is a yellow star and it is a medium size star. It is around 4 billion years ol d. The center of the Sun is very hot. A process called "nuclear fusion" takes place there. Nuclear fusion produces a lot of energy . Some of this energy travels around the space as heat and light. Some of it arrives at Earth!On the Sun's surface, we can see storms. We call these storms "sunspots" because they look like dark spots on the Sun's surface. The Sun also produces big explosions of energy called solar flares .
LET’S SEE THE SUN

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT PLANETS?
THE PLANETS
MERCURY is the smallest planet in our solar system a nd it is very close to the Sun.
VENUS is the closest planet to Earth, but it does n ot have oceans or human life like Earth.
EARTH is where we live. There is no life in other p lanets. It has oceans, animals, plants and humans.
MARS has many craters and volcanoes.
THE PLANETS (II)
JUPITER is the largest planet in our solar system.
SATURN is surrounded by over 1000 rings made of ice and dust.
URANUS has eleven rings which contain dark particle s. Uranus has 27 moons.
NEPTUNE is the coldest and the farthest planet in o ur solar system.
