I appreciate all of the students who responded to my challenge and prodding
with so many wonderful memories!
Alabama Science and Engineering Fair
April 2, 2011
McGill-Toolen freshman Pasley Graham and Mark Gacek were awarded the United States Army Outstanding Project Award and Honorable Mention in Physics at the Alabama Science and Engineering Fair held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Pasley Graham and Mark Gacek provided a project titled "Shoe Friction Lab", performed measurements, wrote up and presented research and created a display for the project. Dr. Burges stated "Winning at the state senior level Science and Engineering Fair is life long achievement. I congratulate them for a job well done!"
==============
Combining my love for competition and interest in science was something I did from early on in my career.
I also liked to do “action research” to evaluate initiatives in my class and department.
“Physics First” was a department wide change in science sequence that I wanted to implement if able to.
