I. Background Information for Learners:

CAUSE and EFFECT

 noting a relationship between actions or events such that one or more are the
results of the other/s.
 a combination of action and reaction.

A cause is what makes something happen. To find the cause, you need to ask
yourself, “What happened first?”.
An effect is what happens because of something else (the cause). To find the
effect, you need to ask yourself, “What happened second?”.

Let’s have this Example:

The boy was grounded because he wasn’t on green at school.
What happened first? The boy wasn’t on green at school. (This is the
CAUSE) What happened second? The boy was grounded. (This is the
EFFECT)

Let’s have another example:

My sister was scared of the mouse, so she yelled for help.
In this sentence, what is the cause and what is the effect?
The cause is My sister was scared of the mouse since it happened first
while so she yelled for help is the effect since it happened after My
sister was scared of the mouse.

There are clue words that will help you to identify the two parts of a cause/effect
relationship.
The most common signal words are: as a result, because, consequently, due to,
nevertheless, since, if, when, so, then, the reason that/the reason for, therefore,
thus.

II. Analyzing Cause and Effect. Let us read about how light causes us to
see colors, and think about cause and effect as you read. Encircle the
letter of your answer from each item below.

Light: How We See Colors

Light is a form of energy that we can see. Some light comes from the
sun. Other light is man-made. Man-made light uses science to turn another
kind of energy, such as electricity into energy in the form of light.
Light moves in a wavy beam from a source to whatever object it
meets. The beam is made up of smaller wavy beams—one for each color.
When a light beam is moving through the air, with all the colors together, it
appears to be clear.

Q3-W5 BAYOG/AYUPAN/TAGLORIN/ALIM
 When a light beam hits an object, such as tree leaves, or an apple, the
color of the object affects the smaller color beams inside the entire light
beam. The green leaves absorb all of the color beams except green. Only the
green beam is reflected back, so our eyes see the leaves as green. The apple
absorbs all of the color beams except red. Only the red beam is reflected
back, so our eyes see the apple as red. This is called “reflection”.
Another kind of reflection happens when a light beam hits a smooth,
shiny object. When this happens, the entire beam of light bounces back.
None of the small color beams are absorbed. The light beam bounces back
like a ball thrown against a wall. If we look at the shiny object that is
reflecting light, we can see images of the things the reflected light hits as it
bounces off the shiny surface, such as our own face!

1. A light beam travels away from a source, such as the sun.

A. The light beam spreads out in separate beams.

B. The light beam makes a sound.
C. The light beam hits an object.

2. A light beam hits a red apple.

A. All of the color beams except red are absorbed by the

apple.
B. None of the color beams are absorbed by the apple.
C. Only the red beams are absorbed by the apple.

3. A red apple reflects back some of the color in a light beam.

A. We see the apple as red.

B. We are able to see through the apple.
C. The apple begins to glow.

4. A light beam hits a smooth, shiny object.

A. Only one-color beam bounces back off the object.

B. Only some color beams bounce back off the object.
C. All of the color beams bounce back off the object.
