Draw a Conclusion

Combine explicit details with careful reasoning to decide what the evidence supports.

Evidence set 1 of 3

Which conclusion is supported?

In April, Room 12 mixed compost into one garden bed but left the other bed unchanged. By June, plants in the compost bed were taller and had more leaves. Both beds received the same amount of water and sunlight.

Choose a conclusion, then check the evidence.

Show the conclusions without the activity
  1. The compost likely helped the plants grow. It was the important difference between the two beds.
  2. The snow probably caused travel delays. The transit report and late arrivals support this cause.
  3. Lena is prepared to go on a hike. Her map, water, jacket, shoes, and meeting place work together as evidence.
