What children learn in Level 57

History and science are full of connections. One person acts, and others respond. One change sets off another.
Ask how two things are related. Did one cause the other? Did they work together? Do they depend on each other?
Base your answer on the text. Point to the sentence that shows the link. Words like led to, because, and as a result are signs.
Be careful with big claims. Real causes can be complicated, and good writers say what scientists still don't know.
