Predators from the Sky: 6-8
Essential Standards - Sixth Grade
This program helps students understand the flow of energy through an ecosystem and responses of populations to
abiotic and biotic factors through discussions about energy transfer through food, bioaccumulation of pollutants,
habitat destruction, and ecological factors pertaining to raptors. (6.L.2)
Common Core Standards - Sixth Grade
Students pose and respond to specific questions about ecology-based topics in an inquiry based learning presentation
about raptors and their interactions with abiotic and biotic factors in a given ecosystem. (SL1)
Essential Standards - Seventh Grade
This program allows students to understand how the cycling of matter relates to Earth’s atmosphere, weather and
climate, and the effects of the atmosphere on humans by discussing the impacts of climate change on ecosystems in
general and raptors in particular. (7.E.1)
This program allows students to explore the impacts environment and lifestyle choices have on common genetic
diseases among raptors. (7.L.2)
Common Core Standards - Seventh Grade
Students pose and respond to specific questions about the effect of climate change on raptors. (SL1)
Students participate in a collaborative discussion about congenital defects in populations of raptors. (SL1)
Essential Standards - Eighth Grade
This program enables students to explain the environmental implications associated with various methods of obtaining,
managing, and using energy resources by talking about energy resources that effect birds, such as the placement of
windfarms along migratory routes. (8.P.2)
This program helps students understand the responses of populations to abiotic and biotic factors through discussions
about energy transfer through food, bioaccumulation of pollutants, habitat destruction, cross species interactions, and
other ecological factors pertaining to raptors. (8.L.3)
This program helps students understand the evolution of organisms by discussing mutations, adaptations, congenital
defects, and other genetic factors that have positively and negatively impacted specific species of raptors. (8.L.4)
Common Core Standards - Eighth Grade
Students analyze the purpose of information presented in diverse media and formats and evaluate the motives as
pertaining to specific energy obtaining methods with an environmental impact (ex. The benefits of windfarms and the
negatives associated with them being built in migratory stopovers or routes) (SL2)
Birds of the World Program: Grades 6-8
