Chicka Chicka Boom Boom ENG — Words Alive

"A told B, and B told C, I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree." In this lively alphabet rhyme, all the letters of the alphabet race each other up the coconut tree. Will there be enough room? Oh, no; Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Let’s watch and find out!

Let’s Make a Palm Tree!

Recreating important images from a story give children a little memento from the story and a way to help them remember what happened!

Use the materials in your bag to help your child arrange their own palm tree! Look back through the book for examples and talk about the parts of the palm tree, such as the tall trunk, the green fronds and the round coconuts! Don’t forget to name the letters you find in your bag!

Remember that children learn best when they do and try things for themselves! Every child’s palm tree will look a little different, and seeing how your child arranges the pieces of their palm tree is part of the fun!

The Big Five ideas for this book:

Talk: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a repeated phrase in the story. Invite your child to help you read the story by finishing the phrase with “boom boom” when they hear you say “chicka chicka.” Make it more fun by challenging them to match the tone or volume of your voice (like whispering or shouting).

Play: Whenever possible, help your child connect new information with a movement. For example, have them stomp or clap when you say “chicka chicka boom boom!” in the story!

Sing: Find the upper and lower case alphabet letters in the very first pages of the book. Touch the letters together as you sign the ABC song!

Hear the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom song here! 

Write: All artists sign their work! Encourage your child to practice writing letters by signing their name on their drawings and artwork.

real world connection

Who do we know?: We know that children learn best through experiences and their relationships. Finding a connection between new information and their lives will also help them better understand that information about their world! To help your child make a real-world connection to letters, play a game and think of someone you know for every letter in the alphabet! For example: A is for sister Amanda, B is for cousin Benny, C for our neighbor Charlie, and so on!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is an alphabet book. Alphabet books help children recognize letters and notice that letters are used in writing.

Learning the names of letters, and the sounds that they make, is one of the first steps in learning to read. However, children do not need to learn the letters of the alphabet in order, nor all at once!

Try starting with the letters your child’s name, since their name is a word with special meaning and one that they likely see often in school or at home!

VERY STRONG "NUT" | Science and life

More recently, fifteen or twenty years ago, the fruits of the coconut palm were exotic for many of us. Today they are sold in almost any store. However, there is no enthusiasm among buyers. Some are stopped by the fact that coconut is difficult to split. Others do not know in which dishes it is better to use it. But is this a reason to refuse a tasty and healthy product?

Sprouted coconut.

Coconut shell can be used as a drinking vessel. Craftsmen make jewelry and various crafts from it.

Coconuts are loved not only by people, but also by the so-called coconut crabs (Birgus latro).

Science and life // Illustrations

To pour milk out of a coconut, it is enough to drill one of its three 'eyes' (ovules). It is easier to pierce the one from which the seed has developed. As a rule, it is located on the widest side of the fruit.

Under the shell of a coconut is a pulp called copra. nine0005

The seed cavity of an unripe coconut is filled with a sour-sweet translucent liquid. It quenches thirst well and refreshes. As the fruit ripens, fat enters the water from the young layer of copra, and then it turns into an emulsion - coconut milk.

The flesh of a sawn nut can be easily removed with a table knife.

To cut a coconut, you have to climb to the top of a palm tree.

Green, unripe coconuts.

The fruits of the coconut palm ripen within a year from the moment the ovary appears. Each group of fruits can have 20-30 coconuts. Mature fruits reach 30-40 centimeters in length and 15-20 centimeters in diameter. nine0005

Coconut palms usually grow in the coastal zone, within reach of the waves.

When I first tried coconut, and it happened at the beginning of perestroika, I was amazed at how pleasant the taste of its milk was and how fat, juicy, and aromatic the pulp was. Tropics sealed in a shell. Such an idea, inspired by R. Bradbury's story "Dandelion Wine", which I read as a child, came to my mind then. (Remember, the hero of the story, the twelve-year-old boy Douglas Spalding, wrote down everything that happened in his life for the first time in his diary as "rituals and routine", and what thoughts this event gave rise to - in "discoveries and revelations." Dandelion wine , according to his revelation, "summer caught and bottled".)

Later I found out that...

COCONUT - NOT A REAL NUT

A real nut is a fruit that has a core that has not adhered to it under a hard shell and is not covered with any shells or pulp. A striking example is hazelnuts (hazel).

But coconut, peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, pistachios are well-known examples of "nuts" that, according to botany, are not nuts. In fact, all these delicacies are nothing more than edible parts of various other types of fruits. Coconut, for example, is a typical dry drupe. Unlike juicy drupes (plums, cherries, peaches, etc.) with a tasty outer shell, the coconut shell is inedible, but under it, inside the woody stone, everything that a person needs is hidden: both food and drink. nine0005

Before selling, the coconut shell is cleaned, leaving only the stone with the seed. Therefore, coconut and similar dry drupes are called nuts. To make the shell easily separated from the seed, it is steamed or dried in the sun.

The fruits of the coconut palm are considered one of the largest seeds in the vegetable the world. They are arranged as follows. Under the thin outer skin is a thick, fiber-permeated sheath (coir). It surrounds a hard shell, on a blunt at the end of which there are three pores (holes) leading to three ovules. Of these, only one develops into a seed. The integuments at the top of this ovule do not coalesce and form pollen entry. Through it, the sprout of a new tree gets out. Two other pores grow densely on the shell. nine0005

The seed usually consists of a fleshy surface layer and is filled inside with a white, almost transparent liquid - coconut milk, which is an unripened endosperm. As the nut matures, the fat content in the liquid increases, the endosperm turns into a milky emulsion, then thickens and hardens.

Some time passed, and I wanted to know how the name of the plant arose and what our ancestors knew about it.

nine0003 HISTORY WITNESSES

According to one version, the word "coconut" comes from the Spanish "coco" and means "ghost", "scarecrow". Indeed, three "eyes" (ovules) on the upper, blunt, end of the fruit give it an ominously ghostly appearance. Looking at them, you involuntarily think: the coconut is grimacing, making faces (in Spanish "hacer cocos").

According to another version, the palm tree got its name from the Portuguese word "coco", which translates as "monkey", "muzzle". Once upon a time, Portuguese navigators mistook coconuts for the faces of monkeys that clung to palm trees. The monkey's physiognomy is reminiscent of the same three "eyes" - ovules on a hairy nut shell. nine0005

The botanical name - Cocos nucifera - translated from Latin means nut-bearing coconut (nux, nucis - nut, fero, ferre - carry).

The first mention of the coconut palm is found in the treatise "Natural History of Plants" by the ancient Greek philosopher, "father of botany" Theophrastus (372-287 BC). Many centuries later, in 1510, this plant was described in detail by the Italian traveler Ludovico de Varthema in his book "Itinerario de Varthema bolognese dallo Egypto alla India" ("Route of Varthema of Bologna from Egypt to India"). nine0005

Information about coconuts is also in the "Christian Topography" (547 AD) by Cosmas Indikoplova, a Byzantine geographer and traveler. At the beginning of his life, he was engaged in trade, on his ship he reached the Persian Gulf and the coast of Somalia. He explored Egypt, rising overland up to the mouth of the Nile River. Apparently, he visited Ceylon and India (hence the nickname "Indicoplow"). At the end of his life, he took monastic vows in one of the Sinai monasteries, where he wrote in Greek "Topography" - an extensive description of the Earth. Cosmas calls the coconut the "big nut of India". nine0005

The Italians learned about the wonderful "Indian nuts" at the end of the 13th century thanks to their compatriot, the famous traveler Marco Polo. Having bought coconuts in Madras, Malabar (India) and Sumatra, he brought them to his homeland.

Coconuts came to the tropics washed by the Atlantic Ocean at the end of the 15th century, when the expedition of the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama returned from India. In the early 1500s, coconut palms were planted by the Portuguese on the west coast of Africa and along the coastline of Brazil. nine0005

But what about Russia? When did our ancestors learn about coconuts? I decided to re-read "Journey Beyond Three Seas" - the diary entries of the Tver merchant Athanasius Nikitin. From 1466 to 1472 he made a great journey through Derbent and Baku, first to Persia, and then to India. Having lived in the Gundustan (Indian) land for almost three years, he told a lot of interesting things about it. There is also a mention of coconuts in his book. In Old Russian, it sounds like this: "Wine is repaired in great nuts - Gundustan goat, and mash is repaired in tatna." To make it clearer, the same text is translated by L. S. Smirnov: "They make wine from large nuts, they call Gundustan goats, and braga - from tatna." Gundustani goats eat coconuts, and tatna is a juice extracted from the bark of a palmyra (palmyra is a type of palm tree). But overseas dishes, as can be seen from the further description of the Indian land, did not seduce Afanasy Nikitin. Otherwise, he would not have written: "Yes, all their goods are from Gundustan, and all edibles are vegetables, but there is no goods for the Russian land. " nine0005

It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the first commercial plantations of the coconut palm began to be exported in the tropics. Bought coconuts and Russia. Before the revolution, they were sold in our markets in fruit shops. Only not whole fruits, but peeled and crushed, in the form of white crumbs. I managed to find confirmation of this in the old book "Confectioner", compiled by Nikolai Nikolayevich Maslov, a former teacher of cooking courses in Petrograd, a freelance confectioner and cook at the court of His Imperial Majesty. nine0005

However, the coconut palm can reach foreign shores without the participation of people and "colonize" many tropical coasts of the world. Here's how it goes.

ON THE SEA, ON THE WAVES, NOW HERE - TOMORROW THERE

Often, a coconut that has ripened and fallen to the ground is washed away by a wave. Caught up by the sea current, it rushes to new habitats, moving thousands of kilometers away from its native palm tree, before landing somewhere where it can take root and start a new colony. After all, on the same tree there are both male and female flowers. nine0005

Coconuts are swimming record holders. Their journey across the ocean stretches for many months. A strong water and airtight rind, a thick fibrous layer and a cavity inside the seed allow the fruit to float on water like floats. Drifting across the seas and oceans, they can retain the ability to germinate for four to six months.

However, not all fruits reach the ground. Often the waves break the nuts on the rocks and carry them back to the sea. Even a nut thrown ashore does not always give rise to a palm tree. They, for example, can eat the so-called coconut crab. nine0005

And finally - about how to overcome a coconut if you do not have professional skills and a machete, with which the Sri Lankans, Filipinos or Indians deftly split walnut in two halves.

CUT COCONUT

Coconuts, which arrive in our stores already peeled and de-shelled, weigh an average of about 600 grams. Of this mass, approximately 90 g is milk, 320 g is pulp, and 190 g is shell. Once I bought a coconut that weighed 755 grams. It contained 155 g of milk and 400 g of pulp. nine0005

Now fresh coconuts, not peeled from skin and coir, began to appear on the shelves. True, they cost much more than cleaned ones.

When buying a coconut, weigh it and shake it to hear the splash of milk. Of two nuts of the same size, choose the one that is heavier. It will have more pulp and milk. If traces of white mold are visible on the hairy shell, then the nut inside has begun to deteriorate and you should not take it.

Cutting a coconut is no easy task. It is better to entrust it to a man. nine0005

Walnut, elliptical or round, has three sides. From the side of the upper end, three "eyes" are visible, one on each side. To pour out the milk, it is enough to pierce one "eye" - the one from which the seed has developed (I remind you that the other two are firmly overgrown). Usually this "Achilles" eye is located on the widest side of the fruit (practice on several coconuts, you will probably come to the same conclusion). Drill it with a corkscrew and pour the milk into a glass.

Putting the nut on a hard and durable surface, break it with a hammer. If unsuccessful, place the coconut in a preheated oven at 200°C for 5-7 minutes. The shell then becomes more fragile. nine0005

To save the shell for crafts, cut the nut with a fine-toothed hacksaw. This will take no more than five minutes. But then from the shell you can make original glasses, jewelry, souvenirs, containers for cacti. It can also be used to decorate an aquarium with fish or a terrarium where a hamster lives.

After sawing the nut, clean the surfaces of the pulp from small particles of the shell and wash. Remove the pulp from the shell with a table knife, making cuts along it to the end about every two centimeters. nine0005

Walnut chunks can be eaten with a brown outer skin. But if you use the pulp to prepare a dish, it is better to cut the skin with a potato peeler or a sharp knife.
