About this worksheet

Connect cause to effect with this scaffolded graphic organizer for grades 6-8. Students complete a step-by-step chain that runs from Earth's 23.5° tilt through the angle of sunlight and the length of day, to the energy a place receives, to its temperature, and finally to the season.

A second chart has students compare the two hemispheres side by side — direct vs. slanted light, longer vs. shorter days, more vs. less energy, summer vs. winter — to see how the same cause produces opposite effects. A short writing prompt asks them to state the cause and effect in their own words.

Aligned to NGSS MS-ESS1-1 and MS-ESS1.B. Complete answer key included. Print and teach.
