🔍 Dirty Water River Test

In small groups, students observe two clear containers: one with clean water and one mixed with soil. They compare how light passes through each and discuss which would be safer for fish and plants. The teacher models how to turn a wondering into a testable question using sentence frames (e.g., “Does ___ change ___?”). Students orally generate and act out possible cause-and-effect questions about water, habitats, or building near the river.
