### In the lessons

In space lessons, scientists number Mars rover days in sols ("on sol 100 the rover found a rock"); science fiction calls our Sun "Sol". In music, do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do is sung in The Sound of Music ("so, a needle pulling thread"). In French lessons, "par terre" or "sur le sol" means on the ground.
