a cause tells why something happened.

as effect is what happened.
words such as because and so are clues that can help you figure out a cause and its effect.

a desert is very hot during the day, so many desert animals are nocturnal-they sleep during the hottest part of the day and become active when the sun sets. desert animals have adaptations that help them survive. for example, an owl has large eyes and ears because to see and hear prey in the dark. desert hares have adaptations, too. like owls, they have very large ears so they can hear well, but for a different reason. they aren't listening for prey to eat as much as they are listenting for animals that want to eat them!

Sure, I can help you with understanding cause and effect and completing the graphic organizer.

First, let's identify the causes and effects from the given passage:

Cause
1. A desert is very hot during the day.
3. An owl has large eyes and ears.

Effect
2. Many desert animals are nocturnal.
4. An owl can see and hear prey in the dark.

Now, let's complete the graphic organizer:

Cause Effect
1. A desert 2. Many desert animals
3. An owl 4. An owl

Next, let's identify the clue words in the passage that helped us figure out the causes and effects. In this passage, the clue words are "so" and "because."

The word "so" indicates cause and effect. For example, "a desert is very hot during the day, so many desert animals are nocturnal." The heat of the desert during the day is causing the desert animals to adapt and become active at night.

The word "because" also indicates cause and effect. For example, "an owl has large eyes and ears because to see and hear prey in the dark." The reason an owl possesses large eyes and ears is that it needs them to hunt prey in dark conditions.

By identifying these clue words and understanding their roles in sentences, we can determine the causes and effects in a passage.

I hope this helps your son in understanding cause and effect. Let me know if you need any further assistance!
