To solve this "Cause and Effect" worksheet, we need to match the sentences at the bottom into pairs. One sentence explains
why something happened (the Cause), and the other sentence explains
what happened as a result (the Effect).
Let's look at the sentences provided:
1. It uses its trunk for water.
2. The elephant is hungry.
3. It takes a bath.
4. The elephant has mud on it.
5. The elephant is thirsty.
6. It eats some grass.
Now, let's find the matching pairs by asking "Why?" or "What happened because of this?":
Pair 1:
* Think about being hungry. If an elephant is hungry, what does it do? It needs to eat.
*
Cause: The elephant is hungry.
*
Effect: It eats some grass.
Pair 2:
* Think about being thirsty. If an elephant is thirsty, what does it need? It needs water. How does it get water? With its trunk.
*
Cause: The elephant is thirsty.
*
Effect: It uses its trunk for water.
Pair 3:
* Think about having mud on your body. What would you do to get clean? You would wash yourself. For an elephant, washing means taking a bath.
*
Cause: The elephant has mud on it.
*
Effect: It takes a bath.
Here are the correct matches for the three rows:
Row 1:
*
Cause: The elephant is hungry.
*
Effect: It eats some grass.
Row 2:
*
Cause: The elephant is thirsty.
*
Effect: It uses its trunk for water.
Row 3:
*
Cause: The elephant has mud on it.
*
Effect: It takes a bath.
*(Note: The order of the rows doesn't matter, as long as the cause and effect inside each row are matched correctly.)*
Final Answer:
Pair 1:
Cause: The elephant is hungry.
Effect: It eats some grass.
Pair 2:
Cause: The elephant is thirsty.
Effect: It uses its trunk for water.
Pair 3:
Cause: The elephant has mud on it.
Effect: It takes a bath.
