Curriculum Alignment

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

• 3-LS4-3: Construct an argument with evidence that some animals survive well in certain habitats.
• 4-LS1-1: Construct an argument that animals have internal and external structures that support survival, growth, and behavior.
• 5-PS3-1: Use models to describe how energy from the sun is transferred through food webs (producers → consumers → top predators like orcas).
• MS-LS2-2: Predict patterns of interactions among organisms in ecosystems, including predator-prey relationships.

Cross-Curricular Connections:

• Science: Marine biology, adaptations, ecosystems, predators
• Geography: Ocean habitats and global distribution of orcas
• ELA: Informational text comprehension and vocabulary
