Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
2 Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and transport of materials.
Over-All Rating: In-Depth coverage of this concept.
 |
Many life science concepts and terms in the text do not relate to the standards. Even within a lesson that covers a standard, the text often has material that is extraneous, covering concepts and terms that are in neither the standards nor the framework. These extraneous concepts and terms are often highlighted, illustrated, and bolded, which might give the mistaken impression that they are important for teaching the standard. An earlier printing of this text includes error-filled correlations of the text with the standards. |
Features that help student learning:
Text does cover most of the standards in depth, and with good illustrations on those pages that focus on the standards.
Features that do not help student learning:
Activities are limited and do not significantly contribute to enhancing understanding of key concepts. Coverage of standard 2b is moderate, and coverage of standard 2g is limited. Even within a lesson that covers a standard, the text often has material that is extraneous, covering concepts and terms that are in neither the standards nor the framework. These extraneous concepts and terms are often highlighted, illustrated, and bolded, which might give the mistaken impression that they are important for teaching the standard.
Ratings for Standards - McGraw Hill:
| 2 Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and transport of materials. |
In-Depth |
|
| 2a Students know many multicellular organisms have specialized structures to support the transport of materials. |
In-Depth |
|
| 2b Students know how blood circulates through the heart chambers, lungs, and body and how carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) are exchanged in the lungs and tissues. |
Moderate |
|
| 2c Students know the sequential steps of digestion and the roles of teeth and the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colon in the function of the digestive system. |
In-Depth |
|
| 2d Students know the role of the kidney in removing cellular waste from blood and converting it into urine, which is stored in the bladder. |
In-Depth |
|
| 2e Students know how sugar, water, and minerals are transported in a vascular plant. |
In-Depth |
|
| 2f Students know plants use carbon dioxide (CO2) and energy from sunlight to build molecules of sugar and release oxygen. |
In-Depth |
|
| 2g Students know plant and animal cells break down sugar to obtain energy, a process resulting in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (respiration). |
