1 FUR, FEATHERS & FEET EXPLORING BIRDS AND MAMMALS Fur, Feathers and Feet explores the basic questions of What makes a bird a bird? and What makes a mammal a mammal? How are they different and alike? What characteristics do all birds and all mammals have, and what are their functions? These questions are answered in a fun-filled hour of learning. By dressing up two students with the necessary features to make them either a bird or a mammal, a visual identification and comparison can be made. This program is accented with many hands-on materials (feathers, wings, talons), Chewonki's live, mallard duck, and a live, nonreleasable big brown bat, or woodchuck. If time allows, several stuffed mammal mounts may be used in a guessing game based on the information that the students will gain during the program. This is a packed hour-long program of learning activities. It is designed for pre-kindergarten through Grade 2. Equipment and Room Requirements Classroom or multi-purpose room space is fine. Chairs (or desks & chairs) for students, or comfortable floor space. Presentations can be done at a single location, or in individual classrooms if 15 minutes is allowed between presentations. No other equipment is needed. Group size maximum Groups of 25 or fewer are recommended for pre-k and K classes. Teachers must be present in the room during the program. It is helpful to have a rolling cart available to help move boxes into the building and between classes. It will help our instructors if your students are wearing the nametags provided in this packet. Note: Permits are required for most of the specimens (living and stuffed) that are used in Chewonki Traveling Natural History Programs and students are reminded of the legal limitations of private collections. All of our living animals are non-releasable because of prior injuries, confiscation, or were captive raised before arriving at Chewonki. No animals have been harmed or taken specifically for use in Chewonki programs. Chewonki Traveling Natural History Programs
2 Class Outline Each presentation takes one full hour and is broken down into several activities engaging for the K-2 age level. The instructor will match the class' level of knowledge and adjust the level of the presentation accordingly. No specific preparation is needed. Any preparation or familiarity with animals and their characteristics will be incorporated into the presentation. A. What is a bird? 1. Students describe the characteristics of birds. 2. One student "becomes" a bird, feature-by-feature, in costume. 3. What are the functions of the different features? (feathers, beak, feet, eyes, etc.) B. Live Bird Demonstration: Chewonki's non-releasable mallard duck C. What is a mammal? 1. Students describe the characteristics of mammals. 2. One student "becomes" a mammal, feature by feature, in costume. 3. What are the functions of the different features? (fur, claws, ears, eyes, etc.) D. Live Mammal Demonstration: Chewonki s non-releasable big brown bat, or woodchuck E. Wrap-up: Students will have the opportunity to view Chewonki s displays through hands on exploration. Chewonki Traveling Natural History Programs
3 FUR, FEATH ERS and FEET Chewonki s Fur, Feathers and Feet program explores basic concepts of what makes a bird a bird? and what makes a mammal a mammal? How are they different and alike? What characteristics do all birds and mammals have and what are their functions? These questions and more will be answered in a fun filled hour of learning. This program is accented with many hands-on materials such as, feathers, wings and talons. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to get a close up look at both a live bird and mammal. Presented by: TRAVELING NATURAL HISTORY PROGRAMS WISCASSET, ME LOCATION: DATE: TIME: Chewonki Traveling Natural History Programs
4 PRESS RELEASE Date: Contact: Chewonki presents Fur, Feathers and Feet What: A one-hour program for younger students to explore birds and mammals When: Time: Where: Cost: Presenter: What makes a bird a bird? What makes a mammal a mammal? How are these two groups of animals different and alike? What characteristics do all birds and all mammals have, and what are their functions? Chewonki s Fur, Feathers and Feet program will answer these questions and more in one funfilled hour. Costumes, hands-on materials (feathers, wings, talons and skulls) and discussion will all be utilized to allow for a more in-depth and interactive presentation. Participants will also be given the unique opportunity of being able to compare a live bird to a live mammal through the use of two of Chewonki s non-releasable resident animals. This program is designed for students in Kindergarten through Grade 2. Chewonki Traveling Natural History Programs
5 Vocabulary Adaptation A behavior, physical feature, or other characteristic that helps an animal survive and make the most of its habitat. For example, ducks have webbed feet that help them swim. Binocular Vision The act or power of focusing both eyes on a single image, thus gaining good depth perception. Birds use binocular vision when they focus straight ahead. Calls Camouflage Canines Carnivore Clutch Crop Down Egg-Tooth Fledge Bird vocalizations that are not songs. Calls are made during courtship, feeding, migration, or as warnings. Protective coloring or shape that helps hide an animal from its predators or prey. Side teeth used for piercing and grasping. An animal that eats meat. Wolves, polar bears, and weasels are examples of carnivores. The number of eggs laid by a female bird during one nesting cycle. A sac at the bottom of the esophagus in many birds that is used to store food for later digestion. Soft and fluffy feathers next to the body that provide insulation. A small, sharp structure on a baby bird's upper mandible that helps it chip through its shell during hatching. The egg-tooth is usually lost within a week or so after the bird hatches. To take the first flight. A bird beginning to fledge is called a fledgling. Flight Feathers The collective primary and secondary feathers of the wing. Fur Habitat Herbivore Guard Hairs Migration Molt Monocular Vision A thick covering of hair on many mammals that protects and insulates them. All mammals have hair, just not always a lot. An animal's home, or area where it lives. For example, the habitat of a meadowlark is a meadow. An animal that eats plants. Deer and rabbits are examples of herbivores. The long coarse hairs that protect a mammal s under-fur and give its coat shape and sheen. Seasonal movement from one region to another. For example, a hawk might migrate from southern Canada to Central America for the winter. To shed and replace. A bird will mold old feathers, to replace with new. The act or power of focusing each eye independently of the other. Birds with monocular vision have a wider field of vision than those birds with binocular Chewonki Traveling Natural History Programs
6 vision. Most birds have both binocular and monocular vision, depending on where they focus their eyes. Omnivore Plumage Preen Raptor Song Talon Territory Under-fur An animal that eats both plants and animals. Raccoons are examples of omnivores. Collectively, all of the feathers on a bird. To clean, straighten, and fluff the feathers. Most birds have a preening gland. A predatory bird, typically one with sharp talons, strong feet, and a pointed, curved beak. For example, eagles, hawks, and owls are considered raptors. The notes repeated over and over in a regular pattern. Birds use song to help defend territories and sometimes attract mates. The sharp and curved claws on the foot of a raptor. The space a bird defends from other birds (usually of the same species) for mating or feeding. The short, fluffy fur that lies next to a mammal s skin and helps keep it warm. Warm-Blooded Maintaining a constant body temperature, independent of the outside temperature.
