Warm-Up: Key Question Objective What are the differences in formation processes among rain, snow, hail, sleet, and freezing rain? WHAT: Students will determine the differences in formation of rain, snow, hail, sleet, and freezing rain HOW: By creating a foldable to compare the precipitation types WHY: To be able to summarize the atmospheric conditions that differ among the precipitation types
Precipitation Types For each precipitation type: Create a model to demonstrate how the precipitation form. Include: Temperatures Steps to formation Visual Any other relevant information Explain how the precipitation forms, focusing on the atmospheric conditions and the temperature conditions that form. Use the hyperlink to do this! Summarize the information!
