Cause and Effect Match worksheet for students to pair causes with their effects.

Problem: Cause and Effect Match

The task is to match each cause on the left with its corresponding effect on the right. Here's how we can solve it step by step:

---

#### Step 1: Understand the Causes
- Mom locked the car door.
- The students were too noisy.
- There was ice on the step.
- Roberto ate too many jellybeans.
- She ran a marathon.

#### Step 2: Understand the Effects
- The teacher turned the lights off and on.
- She was very tired.
- He got a belly ache.
- We couldn’t get in side.
- Sam slipped.

#### Step 3: Match Each Cause with Its Effect

1. Cause: Mom locked the car door.
- Effect: We couldn’t get in side.
- Reasoning: If the mom locked the car door, the natural effect would be that people cannot enter the car.

2. Cause: The students were too noisy.
- Effect: The teacher turned the lights off and on.
- Reasoning: When students are too noisy, a teacher might use a method like turning the lights off and on to get their attention and restore order.

3. Cause: There was ice on the step.
- Effect: Sam slipped.
- Reasoning: Ice on a step makes it slippery, which could cause someone (in this case, Sam) to slip.

4. Cause: Roberto ate too many jellybeans.
- Effect: He got a belly ache.
- Reasoning: Eating too much candy, like jellybeans, can lead to an upset stomach or a belly ache.

5. Cause: She ran a marathon.
- Effect: She was very tired.
- Reasoning: Running a marathon is physically demanding and would naturally make someone very tired afterward.

#### Final Matches:
1. Mom locked the car door. → We couldn’t get in side.
2. The students were too noisy. → The teacher turned the lights off and on.
3. There was ice on the step. → Sam slipped.
4. Roberto ate too many jellybeans. → He got a belly ache.
5. She ran a marathon. → She was very tired.
