Standard:
2e Students know how sugar, water, and minerals are transported in a vascular plant.
Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
Pages 18-27, 32-33, and 36-39 provide in-depth coverage of this standard.
The standard does not specify the terms "xylem" and phloem" for the different classes of tubes in vascular plants. The Framework includes these terms as does the text. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Comparison of vascular and nonvascular plants helps explain what vascular means and that the transport tubes enables plants to grow tall. The transpiration activity on page 113 can help teach this concept.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text has limited description of movement of sugars in phloem. Describing how sugar gets from the leaves to the roots (carrots, sweet potatoes), fruit (apples, bananas) and stalk (celery) that we eat would help students understand the role of the phloem.
Teacher's Edition that we used cited these pages as addressing this standard, but we did not find a significant correlation:
CA2, S6, 9, 16-17, 53, 80, 86.
