1 National Geographic Young Explorer October Issue Bird Watch

2 Felicity Arengo Come look at Flamingos with me. We ll see what these birds need to live.

3 What can you see? mals/flamingo

4 Facts about Flamingos Flamingos are large birds. They have long necks, long, thin legs, and bright pink and orange feathers. They also have large, black-tipped bills that curve downward.

5 Where do flamingos live? Flamingos are found on every continent except for Antarctica. They live in large, shallow lakes or lagoons. Often, these bodies of water are too salty for most other animals to live in.

6 Felicity Arengo I see the flamingos take off. They use their wings to fly over my head. I wonder where they re going. I watch them.

7 Look, the flamingos fly to a lake. They land and walk in the water. I watch to see why they came here. I see the flamingos dip their bills in the water. This stirs up tiny plants and animals in the water.

8 The flamingos fill their bills with water.then they push the water out. The plants and animals stay in. The flamingos eat them.

9 Like all living things, flamingos need food and water to survive. Their watery habitats provide everything they need. Here, flamingos feast on small organisms such as plankton, algae, tiny fish, fly larvae, and shrimps. What do flamingos need to live?

10 Facts about Flamingos The flamingo's body is well-suited for finding and catching food in lakes and lagoons. Long legs allow it to wade through deeper waters than most birds. They use their webbed feet and bills to stir up the bottom, bringing organisms within their reach.

11 Felicity Arengo I see a flamingo and its chick. They re in a nest made of mud. The nest keeps the chick out of the water. It keeps the chick safe.

12 Now, I know why the flamingos come here. They find water, food, and safe places. They get what they need to survive.

13 Facts about Flamingos How long can flamingos live? Wild flamingos can live up to 30 years. Those in zoos can live to be 50.

14 Facts about Flamingos Are flamingo chicks bodies born to be pink in colour? Flamingo chicks are gray and white. The birds don't turn pink until they are about two years old.

15 National Geographic Young Explorer October Issue Sail Away

16 Listen to the song : Rod Stewart -- Sailing /watch?v=yqs0zajngls

17 How do you move the chair? There are two forces.

18 Facts about moving things Objects move in many different ways. They can bounce, spin, slide, float, etc. Pushes and pulls are two of the forces that can cause these movement to take place.

19 A push is a force that moves objects further away from you. A pull brings them in closer toward you.

20 It s time for a boat race. Boats move when they are pushed or pulled. The race is on. A sailor pulls on the rope. He pulls on the rope to keep the boat from tipping over.

21 The wind blows. It pushes the sails. The sails puff out. This moves the boats.

22 Pushing and pulling move things. The sailors push and pull to win the race.

23 Facts about Forces and Motion Pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. They can change the direction in which an object is moving. A stronger push or pull will move an object more. A weaker push or pull will move it less.

24 Facts about Forces and Motion Force means using energy to do work. Pushing and pulling are kinds of work.

26 National Geographic Young Explorer October Issue Feeling the heat

27 The sun is a star located in the center of our solar system. The sun gives off light. It also gives off heat.

28 Sunlight warms Earth's surface. The amount of heat the sun produces changes throughout the day.

29 Sunlight warms the land. Soon, this meerkat will feel the heat.

30 In the morning, the sun shines on the land. The sunlight heats the sand. It gets warmer. The sun warms the meerkats, too.

31 The meerkats play on the warm sand. Soon, the sun makes the sand too hot for the meerkats.

32 The meerkats go in their den. It s in the sand. Sunlight doesn t shine there. It doesn t heat the sand in the den.

33 The den is dark. The meerkats stay cool there. Some take a nap. They wait for the land to cool off.

34 At the end of the day, the sun sets. Now, the sun isn t shining on the sand. The sand gets cooler.

35 A meerkat comes out of its den. It can stand on the sand again. The hot day is over.

36 Meerkats come to the surface in the morning and evening when temperatures are cooler. To avoid afternoon heat, they stay in their dark, underground dens. The sun does not warm the sand inside their dens.

37 Dark markings around meerkats eyes act like sunglasses.
