Long ago, in the faraway land of Lilst, there lived a king and queen. King Moko

and Queen Yu Yan were beloved rulers. They were kind and generous to everyone in the kingdom. Their subjects adored and respected them.

King Moko and Queen Yu Yan had one daughter, Princess Antonia. She was not as well-liked as her parents. Princess Antonia was very rude and very loud. She would run through the palace, making all sorts of noises. She would knock over furniture and leave a terrible mess wherever she went. Sometimes it was an accident… but often, she did it on purpose! This behaviour was extremely annoying for everyone who worked at the palace.

When the royal family went out in public, Princess Antonia liked to cause a scene.

“I’m bored!” she would complain loudly. “She has a wart on her nose!” she would rudely remark, upsetting some of the subjects who lived in the kingdom. No one said anything about the princess’s bad manners, as they didn’t want to offend King Moko and Queen Yu Yan.

King Moko and Queen Yu Yan were aware of Princess Antonia’s bad behaviour. However, they never corrected or punished their daughter. She was the royal couple’s only child, and they loved her dearly. So, year after year, Princess Antonia grew ruder and louder.

Every November, King Moko and Queen Yu Yan hosted a magnificent party to celebrate Princess Antonia’s birthday. Everyone from the surrounding towns and villages was invited. The king and queen would always present Princess Antonia with a special gift at the annual celebration.

As the birthday celebration approached, Queen Yu Yan asked her daughter the same question she asked every year. “What would you like for your birthday this year, my precious princess?”

“Would you like a castle? A team of horses? A hot-air balloon?” suggested King Moko.

Princess Antonia took a moment to ponder her parents’ question. A wry smile crept across her face. “I want to hear the loudest sound in the world!” she bellowed.

The king and queen glanced at each other, both feeling quite bewildered. How could they possibly make the loudest sound in the world? They tried to change the princess’s mind, but Princess Antonia insisted. She hollered her wish louder and louder. “I WANT TO HEAR THE LOUDEST SOUND IN THE WORLD!”

Finally, King Moko and Queen Yu Yan agreed to create the loudest sound in the world for Princess Antonia’s birthday.

Upon hearing the princess’s strange request, the royal advisors devised a plan. They decided to gather the kingdom’s subjects together in one room at the palace. Then, at the queen’s command, everyone would shout at the top of their voices. Hopefully, it would be the loudest sound the princess had ever heard. Everyone agreed that it was a very clever plan!

Princess Antonia’s birthday finally arrived. All of the subjects and servants gathered at the palace. Excitement filled the air – everyone was curious about what was going to happen during the festivities.

“I wish I could hear the loudest sound in the world,” one old man muttered sadly to his friend, “but I probably won’t be able to hear it over my own shouting.”

“That’s true,” replied his friend. “If we shout, we won’t be able to hear the sound.”

The first man pondered this problem for a moment. Then he announced, “I am not going to shout. That way, I’ll be able to say I have heard the loudest sound in the world too, just like the princess!”

“What a cunning plan,” replied his friend. “I, too, will not shout.”

A lady who was walking past the two friends heard their idea. She decided not to shout either. She wanted to hear the loudest sound in the world too. “I plan to stay silent,” she whispered to her friends. The idea swept through the guests like wildfire.

Soon, the crowd began to fill the palace. Princess Antonia was ecstatic! She ran wildly around the palace, screaming and shouting and boasting that she alone was going to hear the loudest sound in the entire world.

She rushed out onto the palace balcony. “You’re all too slow! Everyone hurry up and get inside!” she demanded.

Finally, everyone in the kingdom was crowded into the palace’s huge ballroom — squashed in like sardines in a can. King Moko, Queen Yu Yan and Princess Antonia sat on their gilt thrones at one end of the room, gazing out at the throng of people. Queen Yu Yan raised her hand. Whispers of muffled excitement spread through the crowd. Princess Antonia squealed with delight. Everyone knew that when Queen Yu Yan dropped her hand, it would be time to make the loudest sound in the world.

The murmurs grew louder. The princess started jumping up and down in anticipation. Queen Yu Yan smiled. She dropped her hand.

That’s when they heard it.

Silence.

Everyone and everything in the kingdom was completely silent!

No one had wanted to miss out on hearing the loudest sound in the world, so everyone had decided to remain quiet. Instead of hearing the loudest sound in the world, Princess Antonia heard absolutely nothing at all.

The princess stood motionless. Her face was frozen. Her lips began to quiver as if she was trying to say something. Her father crouched down beside her. Princess Antonia begin to speak.

“It’s… it’s…” she stammered. “It’s… beautiful.”

In the days, weeks and years that followed, Princess Antonia raved about that birthday. She gushed about how the silence had seemed to wash over her; how it had made her feel calm, peaceful and happy in a way that being loud and obnoxious never had.

On that day, Princess Antonia learned an important lesson: how to stop, be still and calm herself down. Of course, sometimes she was still loud. Sometimes she was still naughty, too. She still let herself become excited, but she now knew that she enjoyed being quiet too – and that other people did as well!

So, with a new sense of calm tranquillity, Princess Antonia (and her parents!) lived happily ever after.

Wind sculptures and spinners can be fascinating to watch –

especially when they’re highly decorated and colourful. Why not

make your own spinner, using your knowledge of warm and cool

colours? Warm colours include shades of red, orange and yellow.

Cool colours include blues, greens and purples.

Method

Trace a large bowl onto the board.1. Decide whether you

wish to decorate this side of your spiral with warm or cool colours. Using oil pastels or crayons, decorate your spiral with your chosen colour scheme. Try using a variety of lines and patterns with lots of colour.

3.

Let your spiral dry, and then carefully cut along the spiral line.

6.

NEXTSTEP

4. When your spiral is dry, flip it over. Paint the back using the opposite colour scheme. For example, if the front of your spiral is decorated with warm colours, the back will be cool colours (and vice versa).

5.

Starting from one point on the perimeter of the circle, begin drawing a spiral. Ideally, the width of each segment of the spiral should be no less than 5 cm.

2.

Once you have completed your design, use watercolour paint (in the same colour scheme) to paint overthe top.

Poke a hole in the centre of the circle. Attach a length of wool for your twirler to hang from.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Narwhals are actually a type of whale. Their bodies are 3.9–5.5 m long and they can weigh as much as 1800 kg. Males are usually larger than females. Baby narwhals are born dark grey but become paler as they grow. Adult narwhals are pale-coloured with mottled black and brown markings. Narwhals have two fins, one on either side of the chest. They also have a whale-like tail called a ‘fluke’.

The feature the narwhal is best known for is the male’s long tusk. It is this feature that leads to comparisons with unicorns. This tusk is actually a tooth that has grown through the narwhal’s top lip. This tooth looks like a long, spiral horn and it can measure as long as 3 m

in length. Only males grow a tusk, but some females do grow a much smaller version. Scientists are unsure of the exact purpose of the tusk, but narwhals have been observed using it to hit small fish when they are hunting.

HABITAT AND DIET

Narwhals inhabit the Arctic. They can be found swimming in the waters around Greenland, Canada and Russia. They usually live in groups called ‘pods’, which have 10 to 100 members. However, there have been reports of pods with thousands of narwhals in them! Narwhals have special adaptations that allow them to spend long periods of time underwater, but they must still surface to breathe air. They can dive to 1800 m deep and can hold their breath for as long as 25 minutes.

Narwhals are meat-eaters, or ‘carnivores’. They prefer smaller marine animals, such as fish and squid. They hunt their prey by swimming up close and sucking it into the mouth or by stunning it with a whack from the tusk.

Did you know there is an animal known as ‘the unicorn of the sea’? Unlike the unicorn, this mammal is very real and can be found swimming in the chilly waters of the Arctic. It is time to meet the narwhal (Monodon monoceros)!

LIFE CYCLE AND REPRODUCTION

Baby narwhals (called ‘calves’) grow inside their mothers for 14 months before they are born. A single calf of about 1.6 m in length is born at a time. Calves drink their mothers’ milk for two years, staying close to their mothers until they learn to hunt for themselves.

Narwhals may live for up to 90 years. A narwhal’s biggest threat is the surface water freezing while the narwhal is diving. If it cannot break the ice, it may become trapped and drown. Narwhals are also prey for orcas, polar bears, sharks and walruses.

RELATIONSHIP WITH HUMANS

People who live in the Arctic sometimes hunt narwhals for their skins, tusks or meat. Although narwhals are prey for humans and other animals, their numbers remain high, and they are not currently endangered. Shrinking polar

regions and reduced sea ice due to climate change could affect narwhal populations in the future.

Narwhals are not a threat to people. In fact, research suggests that narwhals react strangely to humans. Most animals that feel threatened respond by fighting or by fleeing. Narwhals seem to freeze. Their heart rate slows and their oxygen levels plummet. This could make them unable to think properly and result in strange behaviour and bad decisions. For this reason, it may be best for people to leave narwhals alone.

CONCLUSION

These unique ‘unicorns of the sea’ are a real-life wonder! Narwhals are fascinating in appearance and in behaviour.

If you ever find yourself in the icy Arctic, keep an eye out for the incredible narwhal!

Even though the Amazon is a rainforest, it can still experience drought. Dry seasons in 2005, 2010 and 2015 caused lots of plants to die.

People live in the Amazon too. Over 7 million people lived in the Amazon before European explorers arrived. Today, there are about 1 million indigenous people. Around 50 tribes in the Amazon may have had no contact with the modern world at all!

Plants produce oxygen (the gas humans breathe to survive). The trees of the Amazon Rainforest make about 20% of the planet’s oxygen.

If all the world’s rainforests were placed together, the Amazon Rainforest would take up more than half of the total area.

Native peoples use many of the Amazon’s plants to treat illness and injuries. Modern science has yet to study the healing properties of most of these plants.

The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. It covers 5 500 000 km2 across nine countries in South America.

Flowing through the rainforest is the Amazon River. It is the world’s second- longest river, but more water flows through it than through any river on Earth!

The Amazon Rainforest is home to many dangerous animals, such as large snakes called anacondas, poisonous frogs and vampire bats! Most of these species harm fewer people than tiny mosquitos, which pass on the deadly diseases malaria and dengue fever.

The treetops of the Amazon canopy are so tightly packed that it can take rainwater ten minutes to reach the ground.

The Amazon is one of the most biodiverse environments on the planet. It contains around 2.5 million species of insects, 40 000 plant species, over 1200 types of birds, more than 450 reptiles, at least 420 frogs and 430 mammal species.

EARTH WATCHFrom Fires to Flooding

16

Earth is a planet of extremes. The Sahara Desert is hot, but Antarctica is freezing cold! Weather also changes around the world, and it can be severe. Extreme weather can lead to events such as fires and flooding.

Some places on Earth experience periods of intense heat. Heatwaves combined with a lack of rainfall can lead to drought. When trees and plants become very dry, they are the perfect fuel for bushfires.

Some places on Earth experience periods of heavy rainfall. When this torrential rainfall doesn’t stop, water cannot drain away as quickly as it should. This causes the water level of rivers and streams to rise and a flood may occur.

Let’s take a look at bushfires and floods in greater detail.

Blazes that start in bushland or wilderness are called bushfires or wildfires. Every continent except Antarctica experiences them, but they occur most often in Australia. They are most frequent during the hottest, driest months of the year. There are two types of bushfire – mountainous bushfires (fires on hilly areas) and grassland bushfires (fires on flat areas).

Bushfires may be caused by natural events, by humans or by a combination of both.

BUSHFIRES

A bushfire starts when hot, dry and windy weather conditions are combined with dry fuel and a spark. Common sparks include lightning, burning for land clearing, campfires and dropped cigarettes. Sadly, some bushfires are deliberately lit.

Bushfires are very destructive and can be deadly. They are large, fast-moving and hard to control. Bushfires can even jump over gaps that block their path, such as rivers and roads.

Fire moves fast and can be very destructive, but it is also a natural process.

Floodwaters can cause great damage and may be fatal for wildlife. Flash flooding can sweep away habitats, trees, buildings, bridges and cars. Rising floodwaters may damage houses, businesses and belongings. Deep water might cover roads and railway lines too. People may even lose their lives.

Floods often occur quickly, so it is important to know how to respond. If floods threaten your home, secure items that the flowing water might sweep away. Take valuables with you to safer ground. It is never safe to walk or drive through floodwaters. Fast-flowing water that is just 15 cm deep can knock you off your feet! This small amount of water is also enough to make a car’s tyres lose their grip and start sliding.

Floods also benefit the natural environment. They distribute water and soil to farmlands, riverbanks and wild places. They also move nutrients into dams, creeks and rivers, sometimes improving water quality and the health of the fish and organisms that live there.

Flooding occurs when water rises and covers land that is usually dry. Types of floods include coastal flooding, river flooding, flash flooding and groundwater flooding.

Heavy or ongoing rain and storms cause flooding. When rain falls over land, the water usually soaks into the soil. Water that can’t soak in becomes ‘runoff’. Too much runoff can lead to overflowing drains, rivers breaking their banks, dams bursting and higher sea levels. Some floods rise and fall quickly, but others take days or months to build and to recede.

FLOODING

POWERFUL BUT NATURAL

Fires and floods are powerful natural events. Despite their danger to humans, they are important processes for the environment. Humans must respect the role these events play here, on our extreme Earth.

People should be prepared for fire season. It is best to organise a safe destination in advance, plan your escape route and leave before you see any signs of flames or smoke. Making these decisions early avoids arguments and delays. People also need to follow all instructions from police and firefighters.

When people think of bushfires, they tend to focus on the negative impacts fires can have on the environment. While bushfires can cause great damage, they also play an important role in nature. They burn dry or dead grass, plants and trees to make way for new growth. They also create smoke, which helps certain types of seeds to germinate (sprout). Fire can also kill weeds, pest insects and diseases that infest trees. More trees die every year from pests

and disease than from fires.

Fast-flowing water that is just 15 cm deep can knock you off your feet!

Not all sports are as competitive as rugby, hockey or basketball.Have you ever tried…

kayaking or paddleboarding?

How about kung fu? Kickball can be low-key, but it’s great exercise!

Are you going to come out and play a game with us?

Sports are so competitive. It’s too much pressure!

Ballet is surprisingly good for physical

fitness.

Well, secretly I love to…

As important as it is to be healthy and active, it is equally important to do something you really enjoy. Try lots of different activities, because you never know what you might like.

Mindful meditation and yoga can improve your balance and help you

remain calm and focused.

Or what about trying rock-climbing or

abseiling?

Those activities sound really fun. I don’t think I would feel as much pressure doing those things as when I play competitive games. What is your favourite sport?

Aryabhata is considered the first person to correctly explain the movements of the Earth, sun and moon.

Aryabhata was born in India in 476 CE. He studied mathematics and science. Aryabhata worked out that Earth spins on an axis. This explained why the sun and stars appear to move. Aryabhata also figured out that the light from the moon and planets was reflected from the sun. He used this knowledge to become the first person to explain eclipses.

These facts are widely accepted today, but Aryabhata made his discoveries 1000 years before European scientists. Unfortunately, some of his writings on mathematics and astronomy have been lost over time.

Aryabhata is thought to have died in 550 CE.

Marie Curie won a Nobel Prize for her work on radioactivity and discovered the elements polonium (Po) and radium (Ra).

Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland, on 7 November 1867. She was a talented student, but women were not allowed to go to university in Poland at the time. She saved up her money and moved to France. She completed degrees in physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

Marie married French scientist, Pierre Curie, in 1895. Together, Marie and Pierre found the radioactive elements polonium and radium in 1898. These discoveries led to the development and use of X-rays in medicine.

In 1903, Marie Curie became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. She won it first for physics. In 1911, she became the first person to ever win it twice, this time for chemistry.

Marie Curie died in July 1934. It is believed she died from radiation exposure.

Mae Jemison is an engineer, a medical doctor and an astronaut who became the first African American woman in space.

Mae Carol Jemison was born in Decatur, USA, on 17 October 1956. She studied chemical engineering after high school and became a medical doctor in 1982. Mae worked for the Peace Corps, helping less fortunate people in Africa.

In 1987, Mae was accepted into the NASA astronaut program. She flew into space in September 1992 and conducted various scientific studies throughout the mission.

Mae left NASA in 1993. She went on to become a professor and started several companies and charities. She has also written a children’s book, called Find Where the Wind Goes, about her life.

Robert Lanza successfully cloned animals, pioneered stem cell therapy and offered an explanation of how the universe works.

Robert Lanza was born on 11 February 1956, in Boston, USA. When he was 13, he changed the genetics of a chicken to alter its colour. He did this in his basement as part of a science fair!

Robert went on to study medicine and became a doctor. He became interested in how cloning and stem cells might help cure diseases. Robert cloned an endangered animal and found ways to make stem cells from adult tissue.

In 2007, he and Bob Berman proposed a theory called ‘biocentrism’, which states that human consciousness created the universe rather than the other way around.

Robert is currently the Head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine.

To the Editor

Dear Editor,

I am writing to share my concerns about the mining and burning of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil and natural gas) to create electricity. Fossil fuels are bad for the environment. They are expensive, and they will eventually run out! Renewable energy sources are the way of the future!

Firstly, renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy, are good for the environment. Fossil fuels are usually found underground and must be dug up. This destroys the land and disrupts ecosystems. Burning fossil fuels causes pollution and creates gases that cause climate change. Why would we continue to choose such environmentally unfriendly energy sources? Renewables are clean, efficient and have a smaller environmental impact.

Secondly, renewable energy sources are cheap and readily available. While they do require some sort of device to catch and create the electricity, these devices are much cheaper than the heavy machinery and power plants needed for mining and burning fossil fuels. It is also becoming easier to store electricity from renewables, which means people can ‘save’ their electricity and use it when they need it. This means cheaper power bills for everyone!

Furthermore, renewable energy sources will never run out. The sun, wind and ocean will always be part of our planet, no matter how much electricity we generate from them. Fossil fuels take hundreds of millions of years to form. But we will always have electricity if we use renewable energy sources!

The time for change is now. We must end our reliance on fossil fuels and switch to renewables. Renewable energy is good for the environment, is cheap and will never run out. Using renewables will provide all the electricity we need and will help protect our precious planet for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Rebecca O’Reilly
