Saturday I went skating with my mom. A cause is an event that makes something else happen. A starting event.

I fell down and broke my leg. An effect is what happens after the first event. IT HAPPENS 2ND

Grandma planted seeds. This is the cause, Which is the effect? a. Then the flowers began to grow. b. Then the sun came up.

Blooming Good! You found the effect! Grandma ’ s flowers are growing!

Oops! The sun coming up is not the effect, but it will help grandma ’ s flowers grow.

This is the effect, What is the cause? We went inside… a. It was raining outside a. We got hungry.

You got it! We went inside because it was raining outside

My hunger didn’t make me go inside, the rain did.

Sue flew a kite because… a. It was a windy day, b. Dad baked a pie.

Way to Go!!!!!! A windy day Is great for flying a kite.

No pie…. Let ’ s Fly! The cause of flying a kite is not baking a pie.

Someone came to the door and a. they got hungry. a. the dog began to bark.

Try again! The effect is not that they are hungry.

Rover barked when someone came to the door.

SMART THINKING! You have learned…… CAUSE … HAPPENS FIRST EFFECT … IT HAPPENS SECOND
