Standard: Show Content Tip
2a Students know plants are the primary source of matter and energy entering most food chains.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| Pages 54-58 and 213 provide moderate coverage of this standard. |
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Description focuses on energy, whereas standard describes plants as the primary source of matter and energy entering food chains (see CONTENT TIP).
The team analogy on page 54 is misleading. Page 59 illustrates the dangers of using the team analogy in the anthropomorphizing sentence that states "organisms can help their ecosystem by doing their jobs and using resources carefully."
