All the students I studied gave an example of cause and effect in their presentation. Actually, the entire class, including the students that were not part of this study, gave an example of cause and effect throughout their presentation. The students did not state “the cause is…” or “the effect is…” however within their projects they identified an example cause and effect. The use of cause and effect requires students to really compare objects or observations and understand how they may or may not relate to one another.
