Effect

4. A cause is what makes something happens
A cause is what makes something happens. To find the cause, you need to ask yourself , “What happened first?”.

6. It's A Mystery!
Drawing Conclusions

7. Drawing Conclusions: and When you draw a conclusion you use 2 things:
What you know in your head.
and
What you’ve gathered from the charts, data, and reports.
A conclusion is the decision you come to when you put these two together.

8. For Example: I sleep in a crib. I drink from a bottle.
I cannot walk or talk.
Who am I?
I know babies sleep in cribs.
I know babies drink bottles.
I know babies can’t do these things yet.
Must be a baby!
