Standard:
2c Students know decomposers, including many fungi, insects, and microorganisms, recycle matter from dead plants and animals.


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Pages 54-57 supplemented by pages 8, 19, 186 and 213 provide moderate coverage of this standard.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
The two ecosystem illustrations (pages 56 and 213) show the decomposers only at the dead carnivore end of a food chain. Decomposers actually function at all levels of food chains and food webs.
