Exploring Cause and Effect for Kids

The video tutorial introduces the concept of cause and effect, explaining that a cause is why something happens and an effect is what happens as a result. Through a story about a boy named Tom, the video illustrates these concepts. Tom goes for a walk with his mom, encounters rain, and uses an umbrella. Later, he rides his bike, falls, and injures his knee, which his mom bandages. Finally, Tom eats pizza to satisfy his hunger after biking. Each event in Tom's story is used to demonstrate the relationship between cause and effect.

• He waits under a tree

• He uses his umbrella

• He continues walking
