Standard:
2a Students know many multicellular organisms have specialized structures to support the transport of materials.
Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
| The big concept (pages A12, A13 and A16) that cells combine to form tissues that form organs helps students understand how multicellular organisms make specialized structures for many functions, including transport of materials. Pages A16 through A20 give many examples of human body structures that transport materials. Pages A50 through A53 examines plant transport systems, and contrasts vascular and nonvascular plants, illustrating that the vascular system enables plants to grow tall. The investigations on pages A48-A49, A62-A63 and A78-A79 enable students to examine transport in celery stalks, and to compare vascular and nonvascular plants. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Investigations where students compare structures of vascular and nonvascular plants teach the standard well. They cover content as well as Investigation & Experimentation standards for this grade level.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text includes many terms and concepts that are not related to the standard or framework (e.g., mitochondria, passive/active transport, osmosis, nephrons, urethra).
