Standard:
2a Students know many multicellular organisms have specialized structures to support the transport of materials.
Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
| Numerous examples of transport systems in plants and animals provide in-depth coverage of this standard (see pages 2-7, 18-27, 32-33, 36-39, 44-49, 86-87, 386-395, 398-403, and 412-421). |
Aspects that help student learning:
Text provides many examples of different kinds of transport in different kinds of multicellular organisms.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text generally does not use the terms in the standard (multicellular; specialized structures; transport of materials). Text includes a large amount of material that does not directly relate to the standards or California Science Framework. Even within a lesson that covers the 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, and might give the mistaken impression that they are important for teaching the standard.
Text does not describe the big concept that cells combine to form tissues that form organs that form organ systems. This big concept helps students understand how multicellular organisms make specialized structures for many functions, including transport of materials.
Teacher's Edition that we used cited these pages as addressing this standard, but we did not find a significant correlation:
CA25, S6, 9-11, 28, 30, 52-53, 80-83, and 88.
