The week before Spring Break, Mrs. Wade's students dove into the exciting world of March Mammal Madness, a nationwide program created by Arizona State University. Inspired by the NCAA’s March Madness, MMM swaps basketball teams for epic showdowns between animals, plants, and even fungi—using real scientific research to determine the outcome of each “battle.”
Nearly a million students across the country participated this year, and my students were all in! They researched the competitors, filled out their brackets, and followed along with the daily recaps of each round.
In every class, the bracket champion earned a certificate redeemable for either extra credit or a homework pass. And in 8th grade, the top scorer was awarded the ultimate prize: the coveted MMM trophy—customized in the color of their choice.
Congratulations to Kerrigan K., who took home this year’s glittery pink trophy!

Last Friday, Mrs. Wade's classes celebrated "Pi Day"! The students created anemometers as part of their weather unit. They measured the radius of their anemometers in order to calculate the diameter of their anemometer using pi. Students went outside to test them, and they used their data to calculate the wind speed! This activity was an engaging way to integrate a common math formula with a science activity. We were extra lucky today because the weather cooperated and provided us with plenty of wind! Happy Pi Day!

Mrs. Wade finally tested ALL of her 8th grader's thermal Insulators and have the winners from each class. The insulators that met all the criteria and constraints and that kept her coffee hot for the longest time won. The winners of each class will receive a hot chocolate and cookie party!
For this project students tested and collected data on many different materials to see how well various things work as insulators. They tested newspaper,rubber, aluminum foil, felt, foam, cardboard, tissue paper, and more! After testing and collecting data they created graphs, and then chose 3 materials they tested to design a thermal Insulator. The insulator needed to keep a cup of coffee warm and needed to be removable, reusable, and portable. Using the engineering design process, students worked in groups to design the ultimate insulator. After completing their prototypes, they tested their prototypes, collected more data, and made improvements to their designs. This was an engaging project that allowed students an opportunity to practice graphing and also allowed them to revisit the steps of the engineering design process.
