THINK-PAIR-SHARE

Think about these questions, then discuss with a partner:

  1. What differences do you see between the three water samples? Describe them.
  2. What might cause these differences in how the water looks? What could be in the water?
  3. Which water sample do you think would be the safest to drink, and why?
  4. How could we measure or describe the ‘cloudiness’ of each sample?
