This has been the worse summer in years for acorn production in northeastern forests. While some may think this is not a big deal, in fact it is. If there are fewer acorns, it may result in a decrease in populations of squirrels and field mice.

As a result, scientists expect to see an increase in the number of cases of Lyme Disease, an infection carried by tics. a. description b. order & sequence c. cause & effect d. compare & contrast e. problem & solution

Youth coaches have noticed that the number of students interested in grade-school

team sports decreases every year. “Kids like to go home, play video games, use their
