Consecutive sums, "la poussée," poems and more!

Hello! Happy Friday!

We started our day with Math, working in randomized groups of three to explore the question:  

In how many ways can a number (example: 105) be expressed as the sum of at least two consecutive positive integers?

Please ask me what consecutive sums my group was able to find!

In Science, we continued our study of the Air and Flight cluster with a discussion about "la poussée" (thrust) - the force that "pushes" a flying object forward. We discussed Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion - For every action force there is a reaction force equal in strength and opposite in direction - and connected it to different everyday examples, such as: swimmers pushing off the wall to advance quickly through water; sprint runners pushing back on their starting block to have a quick start in their race; helicopter propellers spinning at high speeds, pushing air downward with great force in order to rise off the ground. What other examples of Newton's Third Law of Motion can you think of?

We ended our morning with our second group of poem presentations and were once again treated to great 'performances' by all! Félicitations à Jacob, Ava, Mannix, Huston, Karstyn, Akira, Kacie, Elliott, Tate and Cayden!

Have a great weekend! :)
