Eighth grade is finishing up their figurative language unit. They are learning how to incorporate this into their writing. Figurative language is a literary device that uses words or phrases for effect, humorous, or exaggeration purposes instead of their literal translation. It is commonly used to create an emotional reaction, especially in fiction, and to make reading more enjoyable.

Physics brings out the scientist in us all. Here students are trying to measure the period of a pendulum as exact as possible. The period is the time it takes to swing one full swing, back and forth. Using different string lengths and masses, they were able to figure out the relationship between the period of the pendulum and other aspects of the pendulum. It’s always surprising to find that mass doesn’t matter in this relationship.
