Cause and Effect Reading Worksheet

The class planted lettuce seeds in a raised garden bed. For several days, the weather was dry, so the soil became dusty and the seedlings drooped. The students made a watering schedule and gave the garden a little water each morning. Soon the leaves stood upright again. A week later, the class added a thin layer of mulch to slow water from evaporating. The plants continued to grow, and the students harvested lettuce for a class salad.
