Below is a table of the Big Ideas and Contents that are covered in OWL’s education programs in relation to raptors and the local environment. All points are taken as direct text from the BC Curriculum website.

Grade Biology Earth
K

Plants and animals have observable features.

  • Basic needs of plants and animals
  • Adaptations of local plants and animals
Daily and seasonal changes affect all living things.
1

Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment.

  • Names of local plants and animals
  • Structural features of living things in the local environment
  • Behavioural adaptations of animals in the local environment
 
2

Living things have life cycles adapted to their environment.

  • Metamorphic and non-metamorphic life cycles of different organisms
  • Similarities and differences of offspring and parent
 
3

Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.

  • Biodiversity in the local environment
  • Energy is needed for life
 
4

All living things sense and respond to their environment.

  • Sensing and responding: Humans, other animals, and plants
  • Biomes are large regions with similar environmental features
 
5

Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.

  • Basic structures and functions of body systems: Digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and circulatory
 
6

Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.

  • Basic structures and functions of body systems: Excretory, reproductive, hormonal, and nervous
 
7

Evolution by natural selection provides an explanation for the diversity and survival of living things.

  • Organisms have evolved over time
  • Survival needs
  • Natural selection

Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.

  • The fossil record provides evidence for changes in biodiversity over geological time
  • Evidence of climate change over geological time and the recent impacts of humans: Physical records
8

Life processes are performed at the cellular level.

  • Characteristics of life
 
9

Cells are derived from cells.

  • Sexual reproduction
 
10

DNA is the basis for diversity of living things.

  • Patterns of inheritance
  • Mechanisms for the diversity of life: Mutation and its impact on evolution and natural selections and artificial selection
