Marble Races!! Which course is the slowest?

Eighth graders last week constructed roller coasters for a marble. The goal was to make the marble go through the coaster, but do so taking the most amount of time; in other words, they wanted to be the slowest. Our times ranged from 3.5 seconds to 2 minutes 13 seconds. Take a look at the some of the creations and watch a couple of the races.

8th Grade Math with Mr. Schiemann

Hi everyone.  Today in math was intense!  We only got through 3 problems in 45 minutes.  Just to help you out, here are pictures of the steps we took with those three problems.  You'll need to make sure you have your formula sheets handy!  Tomorrow, I'll be assigning homework, so get ready to calculate :)

LEST 8th Grade Registration

LEST is just a week away!  It is incredible how quickly this has come.  Part of LEST every year that they ask of 8th graders is that they fill out a registration form for LEST.  The information provided on the registration helps Concordia keep track of all students that have participated in LEST as they go through high school.  It also gives them an opportunity to provide information that can be helpful in choosing a college when that time comes.  The link to the LEST 8th Grade Registration is below.  You can fill it out electronically and return it to Mr. P so he can send it to Concordia.
