H.C.R. No. 33 



HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, Terrence Bunkley, a freshman at Dunbar High School 
in Fort Worth, won the attention of one of the nation's premier 
student science competitions with his eighth-grade science fair 
project; and
	WHEREAS, In the spring of 2002, Mr. Bunkley developed his 
project by combining a skill he had learned in art class, extracting 
colors from plants, with the scientific technique of monitoring pH 
changes and the resulting effect on color changes in the plant dyes; 
his project, titled "pHlower Power," won first place in the 
chemistry category of the Dunbar Middle School and Fort Worth 
regional science fairs and was nominated for entry in the Discovery 
Channel Young Scientist Challenge; and
	WHEREAS, He was selected as one of the competition's 40 
national finalists from more than 1,700 entrants that fall, placing 
him among an elite group of students who had demonstrated 
exceptional innovation, creativity, and communication skills in 
original science research projects; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Bunkley won a week-long trip to Washington, 
D.C., to present his project and compete for various scholarship 
awards, and while he did not take home the grand prize, his 
outstanding performance is a tremendous source of pride for his 
teachers, family, friends, and state; and
	WHEREAS, One of only eight students from Texas named as a 
finalist, Mr. Bunkley can take great satisfaction in his 
participation in this prestigious competition, and his efforts are 
most deserving of special legislative recognition; now, therefore, 
be it
	RESOLVED, That the 78th Texas Legislature hereby 
congratulate Terrence Bunkley on being chosen as a finalist in the 
2002 Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge and extend to him 
sincere best wishes for continued success in all of his future 
endeavors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Bunkley as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
