Let's solve the
Cause and Effect Match worksheet step by step.

Part I: Cause and Effect Match
We are given
five causes on the left and
five effects on the right. Our job is to draw a line from each
cause to its matching
effect.
---
Step-by-step Matching:
1.
"Mom locked the car door."
→ This action would prevent people from getting into the car.
✔ Effect: *We couldn't get inside.*
2.
"The students were too noisy."
→ A common teacher response to loud students is turning off and on the lights (or using other attention-getting methods).
✔ Effect: *The teacher turned the lights off and on.*
3.
"There was ice on the step."
→ Ice makes surfaces slippery, which can cause someone to slip.
✔ Effect: *Sam slipped.*
4.
"Roberto ate too many jellybeans."
→ Eating too much candy can lead to stomach discomfort.
✔ Effect: *He got a belly ache.*
5.
"She ran a marathon."
→ Running a long race like a marathon is very physically demanding.
✔ Effect: *She was very tired.*

✔ Final Matching:

| The students were too noisy. | The teacher turned the lights off and on. |

📝 Explanation:
- Each
cause is an event or action.
- Each
effect is the result of that action.
- The key is to think logically: "What would happen
because of this?"
This exercise helps build understanding of how events are connected in real-life situations.
