The following questions were answered by Zack Dunn, Ada High School chemistry and physics teacher. 

Q. What is the one thing you cannot resist?
A. I love a good discussion/debate. I know a lot of people view such things negatively and try to avoid them, but I think that they can be quite edifying if both parties enter into the discussion with open minds and treat each other respectfully.

Q. Where is your favorite place to be?
A. My favorite place to be is at my computer playing video games with my friends.

Q. Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
A. I really enjoyed a trip I took with my family to Niagra Falls.  It was amazing to observe the natural beauty and power of the falls. A close second would probably be a trip I took to New Orleans for a chemistry conference.
