Cause-and-Effect Answer Key

Students rearrange a series of tornado-related conditions into the correct cause-and-effect sequence to show how tornadoes form. They draw arrows connecting each step, helping them visualize how atmospheric changes build on one another to create a tornado. After ordering the events, students write a short summary explaining how small atmospheric shifts can lead to such powerful storms. This activity strengthens sequencing skills, scientific reasoning, and comprehension of storm development.
