Chem Is Try The life and teachings of George R. Hague, Texas Chemistry Teacher 1940-2002 ACS Regionals Early Presentations Dallas 1989 Sing and Cheer for Science “Start fairly simply, building to the more outrageous as you become less inhibited. My most outrageous costume so far has been a female cheerleader. Imagine a cheerleader 1.9 m tall, weighing 90 kg, wearing a shoulder-length wig, a headband, a cheerleader’s shirt and plaid kilt, red tights, white socks, sneakers and a red sweater emblazoned with a large letter “C,” a flask, and an H+ of white felt. Swinging my pom-poms, I lead my students in chemistry cheers.” TNT! Dynamite!!! The Chemistry Students Are hot tonight! Cis-Bom-Pow!

The magic of teaching and learning science is that you can combine all three. Many of my students who have become scientists, doctors, and engineers tell me that graduated from high school with strong science backgrounds. Is science fun? You better believe it-just ask my students.” Words of Wisdom * ?CAPTAIN CHEMISTRY Give the World the best you have and few may ever notice, BUT GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU VE GOT ANYWAY! *
