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.
 |
Text frequently includes and highlights extraneous terms and concepts that are in neither the science standards nor the science framework for this grade. Examples are parts of the cell (page A13) and Chapter 4 of Unit A on plant and animal life cycles.
Text covers four of the standards in depth, but has moderate coverage of Standards 2a, 2b, 2e, and 2g. |
Features that help student learning:
Text and graphics address most topics in an appropriately thorough manner. The ideas are coherent and build student understanding. Page layout is clear and uncluttered.
Features that do not help student learning:
Specialized terms and concepts are highlighted even though they are extraneous to the standards.
Ratings for Standards - Houghton Mifflin:
| 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. |
Moderate |
|
| 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. |
Moderate |
|
| 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). |
