Discovering the “Why”: GLC Brings Science to Life

Step into Kathie Kenworthy’s classroom at Premier Arts Academy, where the Grade Level Certified (GLC) National Science Curriculum brings learning to life. Curiosity sparks, laughter fills the air, and discovery happens in every corner as students don’t just memorize facts—they uncover the why behind the world around them. With engaging, hands-on STEM simplified lessons and everything she needs at her fingertips, Mrs. Kenworthy brings science to life with ease and joy. GLC provides fully prepped materials and a Teacher-Only Digital Platform bursting with instructional and resource videos, STEM Career Extensions, ELA, math, and vocabulary connections, and even catchy jingles that make learning stick. Every detail is designed to free teachers to do what they do best—ignite curiosity and inspire discovery.

During her 5th-grade lab lesson on the food chain in the Nature’s Balance unit, Mrs. Kenworthy weaves together literacy and science, turning reading into a springboard for discovery. Students eagerly flip open their Student Data Notebooks, highlighters in hand, ready to uncover the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers. The room comes alive with exploration and lively discussions. Connections spark as students link what they read to the world around them. Every observation fuels another question, every insight builds excitement, and curiosity becomes the heartbeat of the lesson.

““GLC makes teaching science a dream, It’s organized, easy to follow, and most importantly—it gets kids excited to learn.”

Thanks to GLC’s consistent design, teaching across grade levels feels effortless. Mrs. Kenworthy easily transitions from exploring ecosystems with fifth graders to launching into the solar system with sixth graders—each lesson building confidence, curiosity, and discovery.During Mrs. Kenworthy’s 6th-grade class, the excitement builds as students launch into the Our Solar System unit.
