Annual Gwyn Loud science workshops inspire students

For the next few weeks, Tenacre is celebrating Gwyn Loud Science Workshops, an annual tradition in which every grade participates in engaging science workshops facilitated by outside groups. Fifth and sixth graders participated in workshops earlier this week. The Discovery Museum hosted a workshop for sixth graders about physical matter, including lessons on the process of changing solids to liquids and solids to gas. Fifth graders focused on electromagnetism, learning about magnetic force, and experimenting with changing the strength of electromagnets. Gwyn Loud is a former Tenacre science teacher, assistant head of school, and co-head of school (1994–1995) who worked at Tenacre from 1980 to 2006.
