Tim Burgess(AL) and Michelle Houston (AL) will lead a two-week Mechanics Modeling Workshop at Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama.

Dr. Burgess has led Modeling Physics Workshops for more than 10 years in Arizona, Tennessee, Mississippi, California and Alabama. He is a lifetime member of the American Modeling Teachers Association. Tim has won numerous awards in science teaching, was a Physics Specialist for the Alabama Science in Motion program, has read Physics Exams for the College Board and has authored articles in the “The Physics Teacher.” Tim has worked in public, independent private and Catholic schools. He oversaw the transition to “Physics First” as the new science sequence at his present school (and the positive impact that it had!).

Description of the workshop
Dr. Tim Burgess, an experienced leader in modeling workshops, will take participants through several “modeling cycles” in hands-on/minds-on experiences dealing with various momentum and mechanical energy topics.  Working closely with colleagues, participants will practice teaching students to design experiments, reason from data and develop, modify and deploy scientific models.
