UNO Internacional has been developed by a multidisciplinary team of 50 educational
experts from 12 countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Argentina,
Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Peru and Venezuela, among others).
Grupo Santillana has been working on the project for 10 years, researching,
piloting, designing, exploring, and listening to thousands of students, teachers
and directors throughout the region.
The result is UNOi, a new and completely innovative educational
proposal for schools, built around 21st Century parameters and oriented
towards a shared vision for leadership, new practices, quality, and profound
improvement… in short, for a better education.

Written by Patricia E. Acosta
Photo Selection by Monica Delgado de Patrucco
The planet Earth may seem like a pretty big place. However, it is actually a very
small part of the universe.
Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and it is the only planet in our solar
system that has life. Most of Earth’s surface is covered by water. The rest is land—
continents and islands—that rise above the water. A layer of gases, known as the
atmosphere, surrounds the surface of Earth. Earth’s atmosphere includes just the
right amount of gas to keep the planet at the perfect temperature—not too cold,
and not too hot. The atmosphere also makes it possible for plants, animals, and
people to live on the planet. Under the surface, Earth has a layer of hot rock and
two layers of metals in solid and liquid form.
Earth has one natural satellite that moves around it: the Moon. The Moon is
about one-quarter the size of Earth. It does not have an atmosphere, so plants
and animals cannot live there. The Moon doesn’t produce its own light. It looks
bright as seen from Earth because it reflects light from the Sun. The Moon is the
only celestial body, apart from Earth, on which humans have walked.
Jcî*ÇI]ZJc^kZghZ &*

Video
The Sun is the largest object in our solar system. It is so large that 1.3 million Earths could fit
inside it! The Sun is also the brightest star in our sky. Many people don’t think of the Sun as a star
because it looks larger and brighter than the stars we see at night. In reality, all these stars are
very large, hot balls of gases—just like the Sun. They only look like tiny twinkles of light because
they are much farther away from Earth.
Stars, including the Sun, produce enormous amounts of light and heat. Light from the Sun is
very important for us because it gives Earth the energy needed to support life. This light, however,
must travel a very long distance before it reaches our planet. Sunlight travels
ninety-three million miles in only eight minutes to get to Earth! Light from the next closest
star to Earth, Alpha Centauri, travels for four years before we can see it.
You can tell how hot a star is by looking at the color of its light. Blue stars are the hottest,
followed by white, yellow, orange, and finally red. The Sun, like most stars, is yellow.
&+ AZii^c\Di]Zgh@cdl

A constellation is a group of stars that, when seen from Earth, form a pattern or a shape. These
GZVY^c\
groups of stars appear to form pictures in the night sky. There are many constellations, and each one
of them resembles a picture imagined by somebody in the world. People from various regions and
cultures imagine different pictures, even though they are seeing the same stars.
Orion is one of the most recognized constellations. This constellation resembles the shape of a
hunter, and it can be seen from different places throughout the world at different times of the year.
Other well-known constellations include Leo, which has the shape of a lion; Scorpius, which has the
shape of a scorpion; and Crux, which has the shape of a cross.
Although they can be seen from Earth, the stars that make up these constellations are not part of
our solar system. The Sun is the only star in our solar system.
Jcî*ÇI]ZJc^kZghZ &,

Eight planets travel around the Sun in separate paths called orbits. These planets are
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The four planets closest
to the Sun are called terrestrial planets. These planets have a compact, rocky surface. The
terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. It’s also the smallest planet in our solar system.
Mercury has many craters on its surface and a very thin atmosphere, so it has little protection
against the heat of the Sun.
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. This planet is about the same size as Earth and
was formed at about the same time. Venus looks like a giant desert with many clouds above
it. These clouds trap a great deal of heat, causing Venus to be the hottest planet—even hotter
than Mercury! Venus’s clouds also reflect sunlight off the planet, making Venus one of the
brightest objects seen from Earth in the night sky.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system that provides the oxygen that humans need to
breathe. It is also the only planet that has water in its oceans. Earth has one natural satellite,
the Moon.
The last of the terrestrial planets, fourth from the Sun, is Mars. Mars is similar to Earth in
many ways. It has many similar surface features, including enormous volcanoes and canyons.
Mars is called the Red Planet because it looks red when seen from Earth in the night sky.
Exploration of the surface of Mars has shown no evidence of life. Mars has two satellites or
moons, Phobos and Deimos.

The four planets farthest from the Sun are gaseous planets. These planets are known as the
“gas giants” because they are all gigantic compared to Earth, and they are made mostly of
gas. Some of them also have a small center made out of rock. These gas giants are located very
far from the Sun and from one another. The gaseous planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in our solar system. Its
atmosphere has powerful winds, lightning, and storms. Satellite photographs of the planet
show a large red spot on the planet’s surface. It is referred to as the “Great Red Spot,” and it is
actually a storm that has been forming for more than 300 years. Jupiter has four large moons
and many smaller ones. The planet is surrounded by small rings made of tiny grains of rocky
material.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. It
has a large system of rings made mostly of ice chunks and dust. Saturn has dozens of moons
orbiting it.
Uranus is the third-largest planet in our solar system and the second-farthest planet from
the Sun. Its atmosphere is made mostly of ice and gas, which provide its blue-green color.
Uranus’s atmosphere is the coldest in our solar system. Like other gas giants, Uranus has a ring
system and many moons.
Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. Like Uranus, it is mostly made up of gas and
ice. It has the strongest winds of any planet in the solar system. Neptune has a very small
system of rings and at least thirteen moons.
Jcî*ÇI]ZJc^kZghZ &.

Video
The solar system consists of more than the Sun, the terrestrial planets, and the gaseous
planets. It also has at least three dwarf planets, more than 130 moons, and many small
celestial bodies.
Pluto is a large ball of frozen gases that is very far from the Sun. Until August of 2006, it
was known as the ninth planet in our solar system. However, scientists decided that Pluto was
too small to be considered a planet. It is now known as a dwarf planet. Dwarf planets are
smaller, round planets that orbit the Sun.
Scientists have named two other dwarf planets in addition to Pluto. One of these dwarf
planets is a large round asteroid named Ceres. The other is named Eris. Eris is a round, icy
celestial body found on the outermost edge of our solar system. Though there are just three
named dwarf planets now, there may be many more in the future. Scientists believe there may
be at least seventy dwarf planets in our solar system that have not yet been named.
There are also many moons in our solar system. Some moons are as big as dwarf planets.
However, unlike dwarf planets, moons do not orbit the Sun. Instead, they orbit planets.
'% AZii^c\Di]Zgh@cdl

In addition to dwarf planets and moons, our solar system has many small
GZVY^c\
celestial bodies. Small celestial bodies often orbit the Sun, but they are not large
enough or round enough to be called dwarf planets.
Comets, asteroids, and meteoroids are examples of small celestial bodies. Comets
are sometimes described as “dirty snowballs.” They are made out of ice, gases, and
dust that were left over when the planets of our solar system were formed. Comets
can only be seen when they are near the Sun. As they get closer to the Sun, the
comets’ water and gases escape from it, forming a long, bright tail that can be
millions of miles long.
Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun. They are smaller than dwarf planets, and
many of them are irregular in shape. Most asteroids lie in the main asteroid belt between Mars
and Jupiter. In the asteroid belt, there are more than 750,000 asteroids larger than half a mile
across. There are also millions of smaller asteroids. Scientists believe that these asteroids, like
the materials in comets, were left over from when the planets were formed.
The chances of an asteroid crashing into Earth are very small! However, some do come close
to our planet.
Meteoroids are much smaller than asteroids. In fact, most of them are no bigger than a
pebble. Some scientists believe that large meteoroids come from the asteroid belt. Smaller
meteoroids may have come from the Moon or Mars. If a meteoroid falls into Earth’s
atmosphere, it will heat up and start to glow. Then it is called a meteor. What we think of as
“shooting stars” are actually meteors falling through our atmosphere.
Jcî*ÇI]ZJc^kZghZ '&

The Sun, the planets, the dwarf planets, and the smaller celestial bodies are all part of our
solar system. Although our solar system seems very large, it is actually small when compared
to other solar systems in our galaxy.
A galaxy is a group of stars, planets, dust, and gas. Galaxies are found all over the universe,
and they have different sizes and shapes. Scientists group galaxies according to their shape. An
irregular galaxy does not have a clear shape and is full of young stars, dust, and gas. A spiral
galaxy is shaped like a disk with curved arms. These galaxies tend to have older stars. Elliptical
galaxies look like round or flattened circles. They have some of the oldest stars in the universe.
Scientists believe that all the galaxies are slowly moving away from each other.
'' AZii^c\Di]Zgh@cdl

GZVY^c\
The galaxy we live in is called the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy with more
than 300 trillion stars! Like all galaxies, the Milky Way is held together by gravity. This gravity
attracts the stars, gas, and dust and keeps them in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Just
as Earth moves around the Sun, the Sun moves around the center of the Milky Way. It takes
about 225 million years for the Sun to orbit the galaxy!
Earth and our solar system are located in one of the Milky Way galaxy’s spiral arms, known
as the Orion arm. We are about two-thirds of the way from the center of the galaxy.

How Does Earth Move?

Earth—like all the other planets in the solar system—revolves around, or orbits, the Sun.
Earth orbits the Sun because of a force called gravity. Gravity tends to attract, or pull, all
objects together. The gravitational force of an object depends on its mass and its distance
from another object. The more mass an object has, the more power it has to attract other
objects toward itself. Because the Sun has more mass than any of the planets in the solar
system, it has more power to attract them. This attraction, however, is not so strong that it
will pull the planets and send them crashing into the Sun. Instead, the gravitational force of
the Sun attracts planets just enough to keep them revolving around it in separate paths, or
orbits. Earth takes 365 days to complete its orbit around the Sun.
As Earth revolves around the Sun, it also rotates, or spins, on its axis. Earth’s axis is an
imaginary line that runs through the center of the planet from the North Pole to the South
Pole. Earth takes 24 hours to rotate on its axis.

The Layers of Earth

Earth is the largest and densest of the terrestrial planets. It is divided into four
main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.
The crust is the top layer and is made of earth, or soil, and rock. It is mostly
cool. This layer contains the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The continental
crust includes the continents and the islands. It is made up of different kinds of rock.
This part of the crust is thickest in mountainous areas. The oceanic crust is the part
that lies below the ocean. It is thinner than the continental crust. This part of the
crust is made up mostly of a dark rock called basalt. Although the crust seems like a
very thick layer, it is actually very thin compared to the other layers of the Earth.
The next layer below the crust is the mantle. The outside part, or the upper
mantle, is cooler and more breakable. Together the crust and the upper mantle form
a hard layer of rock called the lithosphere. Although the lower mantle, or the inner
part of the mantle, is mostly solid, it actually can flow very slowly.
The layer below the mantle
Inner core
is called the core. This layer is
Outer core
hotter and much denser than the
mantle. The outer core is made Mantle
up of liquid metal. The inner
core is made up of solid metal.

Scientists believe that this part of
the core is as hot as the surface of
the Sun!

Writing a How-to Article
IInstructions provide information about how to do, make, or use something. Some instructions
start with a list of materials or ingredients. Then, they include a series of steps in logical
order—what you need to do first, second, and so on. Action words often start each step in the
instructions. Words such as next, then, and finally may be used to connect the steps.
Here are some tips for writing a how-to article:
• Think about who is reading the instructions. Do not assume that the person
http://essaychampions.com/writing/how-to/how-to-essays-topics/
reading the instructions already knows what you are talking about.
• Create a title that explains what the instructions are: “How to…”
• Put the information in a logical order.
• Use words such as first, second, next, and last to connect your sentences.
• Include any cautions, warnings, or dangers that your reader should be aware of.
• Be specific.

Active and Passive Voice
A Read the text.
SSentences
Se
e can be written or spoken in the active or passive voice. The active voice is used most of
th time.
th
the ti The passive voice is less common.
To recognize active and passive sentences you must do the following:
• Find the subject. (Who is the main character of the sentence?)
• Find the main verb. (What is the main action in the sentence?)
• Determine the relationship between the subject and the main verb. (Who is doing the action?)
In the active voice, the subject does the action of the verb. These sentences tend to be more
efficient and easier to understand.
We made a mistake.
The students built a model rocket.
The builder is fixing our house.
Imperative sentences, or commands, always use the active voice. In these sentences, “you,” the
reader, are the one who does the action.
(You) Clean up your room.
In the passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. The person or thing that does the
action may appear after the word by, or it may not appear at all.
A mistake was made. (By whom?)
A model rocket was built by the students.
Our house is being fixed by the builder.

Rococo: Paintings of a Carefree World

Rococo was a fanciful art style of the eighteenth century. The word rococo comes from the
French word rocaille, which means “rock or shell” and the Italian word barocco, which means
“playful decoration with stones and shells.” The name
of this style suggests that rococo paintings have some
of the rounded and playful qualities of the stone and
shell decorations that were popular at that time.
The rococo style is known for its use of soft brush
strokes, round lines, and pastel colors. It is also known
for its powerful use of light. Many rococo paintings
show aristocrats enjoying themselves in lighthearted,
fun, or peaceful scenes. These rococo paintings share a
sense of peace or happiness, as if the people in them
didn’t have a care in the world.
The painting A Young Girl Reading, by Jean-Honoré
Fragonard, is a popular example of the rococo style.
