Standard:
4a Students know uneven heating of Earth causes air movements (convection currents).


Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
Pages B40-B43 provide in-depth coverage of the standard. Pages B14-B17 provide limited coverage, primarily on page B14.

Aspects that help student learning:
Investigation on pages B38-39 teaches the concept of uneven heating/cooling of water and land. This activity also moderately addresses one of the I&E standards at this grade level (Standard 6g).


Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text does not use the term "convection currents" in describing air movements.
