Cause+and+Effect

1. This site provides a lesson and a template when learning cause and effect. It gives an article for the students to read and then practice finding the cause and effect. This could be used in science very often, since science involves the concept of cause and effect over and over again.

2. This site provides an interactive tool when using cause and effect. Students could read a text and use this tool to find the cause and effect relationships in the text. The site provides an example: cause and effect of natural disasters. The text recommended for use is: As a group, the class can fill out this organizer as the text, **//Danger! Volcanoes// by Seymour Simon** (SeaStar Books; 2002).
