5th Grade Cause and Effect Worksheets

Ages 10-11 · 2 sub-topics · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

These cause and effect worksheets for 5th grade show how one event leads to another in history, science and technology (CCSS RI.5.3). Each original text, on the invention of the refrigerator, why the Aral Sea shrank, sea otters and kelp forests, how the Erie Canal changed New York, how hot spot volcanoes built Hawaii or how the moon causes ocean tides, comes with a cause and effect web or chain to fill in from the text. A cause is why something happens and an effect is what happens, and in these texts one effect often becomes the cause of the next. Six original sheets, each with an answer key.
