2 Ten Facts About Carnival in Rio 10 Facts About Thanksgiving 1 Along with all the other carnivals of Brazil, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival marks the beginning of Lent, the forty-day sacrifice period before Easter. 2 In 2011, 4.9 million people took part in the festivities in Rio. 400,000 of those were foreigners. 3 The first festival dates back as far as There are more than 2 million people on the streets every day during the carnival. 5 More than 200 different samba schools from Rio participate. 6 The main Carnival parades takes place in the Sambadrome. 7 The samba dance, originating from the Bahia region with African rhythms, came to Rio de Janeiro around Carnival is a national holiday in Brazil. 9 Many Rio habitants not wanting to participate in the festival actually leave the city for quieter places during the festival. 10 The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is often cited as the world s largest party. 1 The Plymouth Pilgrims were the first to celebrate the Thanksgiving. They celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day at Plymouth, Massachusetts. 2 The Pilgrim leader, Governor William Bradford, had organized the first Thanksgiving feast in He invited the neighboring Wampanoag Indians to the feast. 3 The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days. 4 Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, popcorn, milk, corn on the cob, and cranberries were not foods present on the first Thanksgiving s feast table. 5 Lobster, rabbit, chicken, fish, squashes, beans, chestnuts, hickory nuts, onions, leeks, dried fruits, maple syrup and honey, radishes, cabbage, carrots, eggs, and goat cheese are thought to have made up the first Thanksgiving feast. 6 The pilgrims didn t use forks; they ate with spoons, knives, and their fingers. 7 Abraham Lincoln issued a Thanksgiving Proclamation on October 3, 1863 and officially set aside the last Thursday of November as the national day for Thanksgiving. 8 The annual Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade tradition began in the 1920s. 9 Since 1947, the National Turkey Federation has presented a live turkey and two dressed turkeys to the President. The President does not eat the live turkey. He pardons it and allows it to live out its days on a historical farm. 10 In the United States, about 280 million turkeys are sold for the Thanksgiving celebrations. 1

13 TEACHER SHEET: EAT LIKE A BIRD LAB All animals need to eat to survive, and all animals have features (e.g., claws or a good sense of smell) that help them collect the food they need. Eat Like a Bird lets students explore how the shape of a bird s beak influences the bird s food-gathering ability. Students will use their beaks to play a game in which they collect food. It s feeding time! Materials Data Sheet Pencils (one per student) Cups (one per group) 10 tongue depressors Masking tape 3 5 of each of the following beaks : round toothpicks (flat toothpicks break too easily), spoons, forks, and spring-action wooden clothespins Food items (at least three of each item per student): marbles, dried lima beans, dried kidney beans, pennies, paperclips, paper wadded into grape-sized balls, and thin rubber bands Prepare Ahead Make tongs: crumple a strip of paper into a wad about the width of a finger. Put the wad between two tongue depressors. Secure with a rubber band. Adjust so the tongs open when not in use. Use masking tape to make a circle 6 8 feet in diameter and a starting line 8 10 feet away. Set-up groups of 3-4 students. Game Rules In rounds 1 and 2, teams must use the beak assigned by the leader. Students start behind the line. One member from each team runs into the circle, picks up one piece of food, carries it back to the team, and puts it into the cup. The next person in line takes the beak and repeats the process. No hands can touch the food, and only one piece of food should be picked up per turn. Students who use their beaks inappropriately lose their turn. Lead the Activity 1 Introduce the challenge. (5 minutes) Explain that in today s challenge, students will gather food using tools that are like birds beaks. Show them the five different beaks, (including the tongs you made). Ask: How might this beak help a bird gather food? (Spoons and forks scoop. Toothpicks and forks poke and stab. Tongs and clothespins grab.) Which kinds of foods do you think would be the easiest to pick up with each of these beaks? Which will be the hardest to pick up? (Record the predictions on a board or chart.) 2 Test predictions by playing Round 1. (10 minutes) Tell kids this game is a relay race. The goal is for each team to collect as much food as possible the number of collected items is what counts, not the size or type. Review the rules (see Game Rules above). Divide the group into teams of three or four. Give each team a cup, pencils, data sheets, and one kind of beak. Then sprinkle the food in the circle. Say, Go, and give teams five minutes to collect as much food as possible. 12
14 TEACHER SHEET: EAT LIKE A BIRD LAB 3 Discuss what happened. (10 minutes) After five minutes, have each team fill in the table on their data sheet. Record each team s data on the table. Ask: Which birds can survive on a wide variety of foods and which can survive on only a few kinds? (Beaks with similar totals for many foods represent birds that can survive on a wide variety of foods. Beaks with high totals for only one or two kinds of food represent birds that can survive on only a few foods.) If a certain food became unavailable, how might that affect the different birds? (Birds that depend on a food that becomes unavailable would go hungry. Birds that eat many different kinds of food could still feed.) 4 Play Round 2. (10 minutes) Assign each team a new kind of beak. Inside the circle, redistribute the food collected in round 1 and return the empty cups to the teams. Repeat steps 2 and 3. 5 Discuss what happened. (10 minutes) Draw students attention to the data on the group chart. In our game, if you wanted to make life easy for birds with tong-like beaks, which foods would you put in the circle? (Marbles) Which birds couldn t live in a habitat with only marbles to eat? (Ones with toothpick-like beaks.) Habitats usually offer many different kinds of food. When fully stocked, would the habitat inside our circle be suitable for a wide variety of beak shapes or for only a few? Why? (A wide variety, since there are many kinds of food.) 6 Play Round 3. (10 minutes) Let kids apply what they learned. This time, let teams choose their beak. Encourage them to look at the group data to decide which beak is most effective at gathering food. Then repeat steps 2 and 3. 7 Award points. (5 minutes) Time to rack up some points. Gather as a group. Review the activity s key ideas by asking the following questions. Each one is worth 50 points. Whenever you hear an acceptable answer, award 50 points to the entire group. Name three different beak shapes and how birds use them to collect food. (Pointy beaks spear food; spoon-shaped beaks scoop food; tong-like beaks grab food.) Name a beak we used today that belongs to a bird that eats only a few foods and one that belongs to a bird that eats many foods. (Toothpicks and clothespins belong to birds that eat a few foods. Spoons, forks, and tongs represent birds that eat many foods.) Name three animals other than birds and a feature that helps each one gather its food. (Answers will vary.) Why is it unlikely that a bird that drinks nectar from flowers would suddenly start eating fish? (It doesn t have the right beak shape to eat fish, so it would eventually go hungry.) Science involves making predictions, testing them (which includes doing something, making observations, and drawing conclusions), and sharing your results. Give an example of how we did these steps today. (Answers will vary.) 13

18 Fun Parrot Facts Parrots are a broad order of more than 350 birds. Macaws, Amazons, lorikeets, lovebirds, cockatoos and many others are all considered parrots. Most parrots live in tropical areas. All parrots have curved beaks and all are zygodactyls, meaning they have four toes on each foot, two pointing forward and two projecting backward. Parrots are often brightly colored. Parrots are believed to be one of the most intelligent bird species. Some species are known for imitating human voices. Most parrots eat fruit, flowers, buds, nuts, seeds, and some small creatures such as insects. Many parrots are kept as pets, especially macaws, Amazon parrots, cockatiels, parakeets, and cockatoos. Some parrot species can live for over 80 years. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) bans the sale of any wild-caught species, yet the parrots popularity continues to drive illegal trade. Some parrot species, such as Spix s Macaws, the bird Blu s character is based on, are highly endangered. 17
