The videos below take you through examples illustrating each of the causal patterns. The examples are from everyday events and from science topics. Each example invites you to think about two questions:
- What type(s) of causal pattern do you think is being illustrated?
- What features do you see that fit with that type of causal pattern? What features do you see that do not seem to fit with the pattern?
