Larry Peck, Professor and Director of First Year Chemistry Programs at Texas A&M University, has his Ph.D. from Montana State University. He earned the school's Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement Award in Chemistry Teaching in 2002 and the Catalyst Award (a national award for excellence in Chemistry Teaching) presented by the Chemical Manufacturers Association in 2000. Dr. Peck is very active in science teaching at all levels. Each summer for the past 17 years, he has hosted an AP Chemistry Teachers' Workshop and for the past 12 years he has directed programs designed to improve the teaching of physical science, programs now known in Texas as "integrated physics and chemistry." The resource materials developed in these workshops are currently being used as models for other state-funded teacher training programs. See less
