Air and Flight
Students have been investigating the properties of air and flight. Today we talked about
Bernoulli's Principle: an increase in the speed of a fluid produces a decrease in pressure and a decrease in speed
produces an increase in pressure.
The curved top of a wing creates a longer distance from front to back than the straight bottom. This causes the air on top to travel farther, and thus faster, to reach the back than the air underneath, creating a difference in pressure between the two surfaces
Here's a quick video that explains Bernoulli's Principle.

History in the making
The grade 6 students just finished their new version of the Canadian Coat of Arms. Students were asked to update this important symbol to better represent Canada's history and identity. They were then asked to explain and support their choices with facts and examples.
Students can continue to deepen their learning by visiting #OnThisDay ... in Canada's history! On this page, you'll discover significant events that shaped our society.

Communautés Canadiennes
For Education Week and as part of our CANADA 150 celebration, students are looking at different Canadian communities up North. Students formulated thoughtful questions to help guide their inquiries and discover how these and other communities begin and develop. They will also explore the important issues and events that have shaped them.
