Concept Statement: Show Concept Overview
2 Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and transport of materials.
Over-All Rating: Moderate coverage of this concept.
 |
These standards are covered in the "Food and Nutrition" Science Stories, and (except for Standard 2g) not in the "Food and Nutrition" Investigations. "Food and Nutrition" Investigations and Science Stories consist mostly of material that is extraneous to the standards in this topic. |
Features that help student learning:
The text is engaging and most of the graphics provide good visuals to help student understanding. The text does cover most of the standards within this topic (2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d) in-depth.
Investigation 2 provides an engaging and relevant experience with the breakdown of sugar by yeast and the formation of carbon dioxide.
Features that do not help student learning:
Most of the standards (e.g., digestion and transport in plants) are addressed in text only with no hands-on activities.
Ratings for Standards - FOSS:
| 2 Plants and animals have structures for respiration, digestion, waste disposal, and transport of materials. |
Moderate |
|
| 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. |
In-Depth |
|
| 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. |
Moderate |
|
| 2f Students know plants use carbon dioxide (CO2) and energy from sunlight to build molecules of sugar and release oxygen. |
Limited |
|
| 2g Students know plant and animal cells break down sugar to obtain energy, a process resulting in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (respiration). |
Moderate |
