Standard: Show Content Tip
5a Students know the Sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system and is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| Pages B116-B121 provide moderate coverage of this standard. Page B124 shows the sun as the central body in the solar system with 99.8% of the mass [NOTE: Teacher's Edition that we used does not cite page B124 for this standard.] |
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text does not state that the sun is an average star. The text includes extraneous information (sun's corona, photosphere, sunspots, etc.) and emphasizes these more than the concepts in the standard.
