Snow and Sleet

Snow and sleet are solid ice.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 11

Snow is soft, fluffy flakes of ice. It falls when the air is very cold, and it piles up on the ground.
Sleet is tiny, hard pellets of ice. They are frozen raindrops. They bounce and tap on windows!
Snow and sleet are both solid ice. They keep their shape until they get warm. Then they melt into liquid water.
Your turn! Sort them: snow, or sleet?

Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:

S1E1.b — Ask questions to identify forms of precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet, and hailstones as either solid (ice) or liquid (water).
