THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE


       I like this story but I know another…
       Which one?
       ¨The Tortoise and the Hare¨
         What is it about?

B- The Tortoise and the Hare
v      TORTOISE: Catalina
v      HARE: Mariano
v      CHARACTERS: : flamingo: Selena / Beaver: Alejo / Deer: Mili / frogs: Juan and Joaquín  / eagle: Facundo / Beaver: Alejo
v      STORY TELLERS: Leandro / Camila
v      DESCRIPTION: Children 3
v      MORAL: Agostina / Savina

v      Leandro: Today is a beautiful spring afternoon and the animals are playing together near the river. Suddenly, the hare starts talking to some of his friends:
v      The Hare ( I’m a very good runner -  I can run very fast / I´m  the fastest animal in the forest)
v      Deer: really! I can't believe it! I know the cheetahs are the fastest animals in the world but they don't live here! Perhaps you are right.
v      The hare: in the forest there are many animals but they are not as fast as I am
v      The tortoise: don't forget me!
v      The hare ha ha! You can't run. You are the slowest animals in the forest. You are slower than a  snail.
v      The tortoise: if you want,  we can have a race!
v      The hare: what? Ha ha! ok,  see you at 03:00 pm next to the cottage
v      Camila: all the animals are very excited
v      The flamingo to the beaver you must come and see the race! For you, who is the winner? The rabbit, of course. Maybe, but don't forget that the tortoise is determined and never gives up Yes could be but she is very slow
v      Frogs: you must come and see the race! I am very happy, something interesting to see        you are right! It's cool! I am bored with our daily routine in this pond Let’s look for the best places (together)
v      The eagle: (flying) why are all those animals together? (to herself) Eagle to flamingo: What's going on? There is a race between the hare and the tortoise and we are very anxious! I ´m going to see it from the air. This is the first time I am going to see a race like this.It's not my first time but it is going to be very very interesting!
v      Leandro: It is three o'clock. It's time for the race
v       Beaver (Alejo): ready, steady and go!
v      Leandro: and the hare runs ahead so quickly that the other animals can't see him. The tortoise walks slowly and surely. The hare can't see the tortoise
v      Hare: He is so slowly. I can stop and wait for him
v      Camila: The hare sits down under a big tree and waits for the tortoise and … he goes to sleep. The tortoise walks slowly and surely and he passes the hare
v      Leandro: She can see the line
v      Frog (Juan) : Look! here comes the tortoise
v      Leandro: The hare wakes up but it is too late. The tortoise is the winner!
v      All animals: WELL DONE! THE TORTOISE IS THE WINNER
v      Tortoise: Slowly and surely that's how I win the race!

Moral:
    Savina: what a wonderful story! But I don't really understand the meaning of it
    It's very easy! Never give up and do your best from the beginning to the end. It may prove that someone who seems to be more skilled at something may not be
    Ah! Now I understand! This is a good moral to apply in our lives

THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY
HAPPY ANIMAL´S DAY!

Titanic song with lyrics

CAMY - LAIKA

The dog Laika (Russian Лайка, 'barking') was the first live animal in orbit around the Earth. He did it aboard the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2, November 3, 1957, a month after Sputnik 1 was launched into orbit. 
Like other animals in space, Laika died between five and seven hours after launch, well ahead of schedule. The cause of his death, which was not revealed until decades after the flight (2002), was probably a combination of stress and overheating suffered, perhaps, was caused by a malfunction of the thermal control system of the ship .Although Laika did not survive the journey, his experience showed that it is possible for a support microgravity conditions, thus paving the way for human participation in space flight. After Laika, the USSR sent 12 dogs into space including 5 live come back to Earth. Main article: Sputnik 2 Following the success of Sputnik 1, the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev sought to launch a second artificial satellite into space for the day of the fortieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution on 7 November 1957. When you received this request since it was building a sophisticated satellite, but would not be ready until a month after the required date, so it was discarded. The satellite discarded, would be the Sputnik 3.1 It was therefore necessary to build another satellite less complicated in order to meet the November deadline. The decision to launch the satellite was taken on 10 or 12 October, which left the construction team with only four weeks to build the new artefacto.2 The hasty construction of Sputnik 2 was complicated by the fact that this timeintended to carry a living creature inside, only four semanas.3 
The ship was equipped with instruments to measure solar radiation and cosmic rays, an oxygen generation system, together with systems to absorb carbon dioxide, and another to prevent oxygen poisoning, also known as the effect of Paul Bert. Added a fan operated when the house temperature exceeded 15 ° C, to maintain the temperature of the animal. In addition, the satellite was equipped with enough food for a seven-day flight. The food was in the form of gelatin. 
Also designed a "space suit" for Laika. The animal was equipped with a bag to store their waste, and a harness that limited his movements to sit, stand or lie down in the cabin and had no room to tumble. Laika's heart rate could be monitored from Earth, and other instruments measured their breathing rate, blood pressure and movimientos.4 5 

Model of Sputnik 2, Laika's spacecraft. Laika was a stray dog ​​from Moscow, which weighed approximately 6 kg and was 3 years old when he was captured for the Soviet space program. Originally called Kudryavka (rizadita) after Zhuchka (bug), then Limonchik (little lemon), and finally call it Laika, because of their race. The captured dogs were kept in a research center in this city, and three of them were tested and trained for the demands of the mission: Laika, Albina and Mushka.6 
Training 
Before the launch of Sputnik 2, both the Soviet Union and the United States had already launched live animals on flights suborbitales.7 This mission required special attention to the training of dogs, since the flight time required the animals to adapt to stay in confined spaces for a longer period. Albina was released twice in a rocket to test their resistance to high altitude, and Mushka was used to test instrumentation and life support equipment. Laika was selected to participate in the orbital mission, and Albina as the main surrogate. His training was conducted by Oleg Gazenko.8 scientific training required to accustom the dogs to the environment they would encounter on the trip, as the limited space of the capsule, noise, vibration and acceleration. As part of tra
ining, the acceleration in the takeoffs were simulated by the centrifugal force imposed on the capsule where the animals were introduced. During these activities, your coming to double pulse and blood pressure increased by 30-65 torr. The same general process would be used later in the training of Soviet cosmonauts. 
The adaptation of animals to the confined space of the Sputnik 2, required to remain in ever smaller compartments, for up to twenty days. Forced confinement led to riots in the excretory functions of animals, increasing agitation and general physical condition deteriorated. 
[Edit] The mission
On October 31, 1957, three days before launch, Laika was placed in the Sputnik 2, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today. As temperatures in the launch site were extremely low, heat the capsule to be maintained through an external heater and hose. Two assistants were responsible for Laika constantly monitor before the start of the mission. Just before takeoff, the November 3, 1957, Laika's fur was cleaned with a solution of ethanol, and they painted with iodine areas where the dog would monitor functions sensors corporales.9 Sputnik 2 was launched on November 3, 1957. Laika's vital signs were followed telemetrically by ground control. Upon reaching full throttle after takeoff, the animal's breathing rate increased from three to four times normal, and heart rate from 103 to 240 beats per minute. Upon reaching orbit, Sputnik 2 conical tip came off successfully. The other section of the ship that should have been revealed (the "Blok A") did not, preventing the thermal control system malfunction. Part of insulation broke off, allowing the capsule reaches an internal temperature of 40 ° C.10 After three hours of microgravity, Laika's pulse had dropped to 102 beats per minute, 11 this decrease in heart rate were taken three times more time than experienced during training, indicating the stress under which he was the dog. The initial telemetry data showed that although Laika was agitated, he was eating. The reception of vital data stood between five and seven hours after liftoff. However, the information released Moscow, said the animal behaved calm in space flight and in a few days Laika descend to earth, first in his space capsule and then parachute. The world hoped that the animal had enough food and his condition was stable, so many people were pending the return of Laika. Some took the opportunity to joke: for several hours, the population of Santiago de Chile was convinced that Laika had fallen in the city. The inhabitants of the suburbs saw a dog down by parachute, and people were instantly convinced that it was Laika. When the animal arrived in the land, it was found that in fact it was a male dog, and the assembly was just a joke to take advantage of the psychosis of "Flying Dog" .12 [Edit] The fate of Laika in space
Sputnik 2 was not ready to return to Earth safely, so we already know that Laika would not survive the trip. It is normal if we consider that everything was done in four weeks.Soviet scientists planned to sacrifice with food poisoning, which consume Laika after ten days. However, the fate of the animal was not what he had planned. For years, the Soviet Union gave contradictory explanations about the death of Laika, sometimes saying the dog had died from asphyxiation when the batteries failed, or had been euthanized in accordance with the original plans. In 1999, Russian sources claimed that Laika survived at least four days and then killed by overheating of the spacecraft. In October 2002, the scientist Dimitri Malashenkov, who participated in the launch of Sputnik 2, revealed that Laika had died between five and seven hours after liftoff, due to stress and overheating. According to an article that appeared in the World
 Space Congress in Houston
Was virtually impossible to create a reliable temperature control in such a short time.13 Sputnik 2 orbited Earth 2,570 times during 163 days. The ship exploded on contact with the atmosphere on April 14, 1958.

CAMY - THE FIRST EXPERIMENTS

The decade of the 50s
Sam, a monkey that flew to a height of 88 km in 1958. (NASA).On August 31, 1950 the U.S. launched a mouse into space (at 137 km altitude) aboard a V-2 rocket (flight "Albert V", which, unlike the previous flights, "Albert" had not a monkey). More mice were later sent aboard ships, but none of them went on to achieve the technical level to be considered a space flight.On December 13, 1958, 
an intercontinental ballistic missile, Jupiter was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a South American squirrel named "Gordo" who had received special training in the U.S. Navy. During the mission, the parachute system that would facilitate the landing of the capsule failed, and "Gordo" died in the collision.Telemetry data showed that during the return trip the animal survived a gravity 10 times that of Earth, 8 minutes of weightlessness and reentry to 16,000 km / h to 40 times gravity to the surface. The capsule that sank was 2,411 km away from Cape Canaveral and was never recovered.
Monkeys "Able" and "Baker" became the first monkeys to survive a space flight after flight of 1959. On 28 May of that year, the intercontinental ballistic missile AM-18 transported to "Able, a rhesus monkey (born American, 3.18 kg) and a Peruvian squirrel monkey 310 grams called" Baker. " Monkeys flew in front of the missile capsule (which theore
tically have nuclear warheads on a missile of that type) to an altitude of 579 km and a distance of 2,735 km out of the reach of the Atlantic system of rockets from Cape Canaveral, Florida Withstood a pressure 38 times higher than normal, being in weightlessness for 9 minutes. Throughout his 16-minute flight reached a top speed of 16,000 km / h. The monkeys survived in good condition. Unfortunately, "Able" died four days after the flight, due to a reaction to the anesthesia used in the operation was to withdraw an electrode infected. "Baker" lived up to the November 29, 1984 Space Center Huntsville, Alabama.
The U.R.S.S. launched on 29 January 1951 the draft R-1 IIIA-1, carrying the dogs Tsygan (In Russian, Цыган, "Gypsy"), and Dezik (Russian Дезик) into space, but not in orbit. Both space dogs survived the flight, although one died in a subsequent mission.The first animal in orbit was the dog Laika, who manned the Sputnik 2 on November 3, 1957. Laika died during the flight. At least ten other dogs went into orbit and performed many other sub-orbital flights before the historic date of April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.[Edit] The 60's
On January 31, 1961, Ham the Monkey was sent in a capsule inside a Redstone rocket, as part of Mercury, the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission. The monkey had been trained as levers to get 
bananas enable or prevent downloads eléctricas.1 His flight demonstrated the ability to perform during space flight. Just over 3 months later, NASA sent into space Aalan Shepard. Enos the chimp became the first monkey into orbit on November 29, 1961, in another Mercury capsule type, embedded in a Atlas rocket, Mercury-Atlas 5.The United States also sent in 1966 and 1967 animal cargo flight (I Biosatellite projects and Biosatellite I / II), which consisted of fruit flies, parasites, flour beetles, frog eggs, bacteria, amoebas and fungi number. Finally in 1969 was the first mission of more than a day manned by a monkey: it was Bonny, a monkey, was one of four U.S. monkey missions aboard rockets during the sixties.The U.R.S.S. organized the flight of Sputnik 5 (also known as Korabl-Sputnik 2), carrying the dogs Belka and Strelka. It was the first space mission to carry orbital altitude mammals and bring them to earth with life. One of the puppies Strelka, Pushinka, born after the mission, was the gift that Nikita Khrushchev gave Caroline Kennedy in 1961. Many of their descendants live today. Vostok flights Soviet Union 3a loaded mice and first with guinea pigs and ranas.2 As part of Voskhod, two Russian dogs, called "Veterok (Ветерок," little wind ") and Ugolyok (Уголёк "Amber"), entered the orbit 22 days before landing, 16 March 1966. This space travel holds the record for staying in space until 1974, when it was surpassed by the Skylab project (manned by humans), and it is still considered the dog stay in space longer. In the early 50's, a total of 57 Russian missions were manned by dogs. The actual number of dogs space is significantly less, since some of them flew more than once. Also directed by the Soviet Union, an unmanned rocket blasted off by a turtle September 14, 1968. Horsfield tortoise circumlunar made a flight with fruit flies, worms, meat and other live specimens.Were the first animals to go into deep space. The capsule was successfully recovered a week later.France, meanwhile, launched the first rat into space on February 22, 1961. Two more rats were released in October 1962. A year later (10/18/1963) launched the cat "Felix", with electrodes implanted in the head to measure neural impulses. Felix completed its mission and returned alive, but died the next cat in space travel. The last animals sent by France were two monkeys into space in March 1967.After the United States, Russia and France, Argentina was the fourth country to put living things in space and return them to earth. The first releases were done with mice and then to the Ape Juan. The Condor project was an advanced project with its own technology, but the great powers embedded in a military missile.
In this group of countries joined China, sending a passage of rats in 1964. A year later they repeated the experience, and in 1966 were two dogs that flew.[Edit] The 70's
