Cause and Effect

 Cause and effect can help with writing sentence within the mechinisims structure of an explanaion.

A cause is why something happens.  A effect is what happens. For example A rainbow appears in the sky when sunlight passes through raindrops.

Casual language are words that link with cause and effect sentances. For example: because, when, in order to, therefore, and more. For example: The students were loud and noisy THEREFORE the teacher was mad.

Here is a mix and match activity you can do to practise and to help explain what it looks like. Make a copy, do it and then send it to me to check.

Cause and effect is  great starting point for mechanisms as then you can add the detail as to why it happens.
