Lesson 3: Precipitation
In Lesson 3, we are going to learn about types of precipitation. Here are our I Can statements:
Types of Precipitation
Precipitation is water that falls to the earth from clouds in the sky. The water that falls can be in many different forms. It can fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. In the winter when the temperature is below 32 degrees, snow will fall. Sometimes the temperature won’t be cold or hot, and sleet will fall. Sleet is a mixture of rain and snow. Sleet can make roads and sidewalks very slippery! In the summer, when the temperature is above 32 degrees, rain will fall. Hail is small balls of ice that fall from clouds during a thunderstorm. Hail can cause damage to crops, cars, and houses!
Now, let's take a look at our vocabulary words for this lesson!

In Lesson 3, we are going to learn about types of precipitation. Here are our I Can statements:
- I can tell the physical differences between snow, crushed ice and/or liquid water.
- I can investigate freezing and melting of water through observations and measurement using technology.
- I can recognize that l liquid may turn into a solid when frozen and a solid may turn into a liquid when heated.
- I can explain that temperature changes modify the state of water.

Weather Observations
Each day look outside and think about the weather. Note whether it is sunny or
cloudy? Are the clouds big or small? Is it windy? In what direction is the wind blowing?
Is it raining? Does the temperature feel hot, cold, cool or warm? What happened
yesterday? What season is it? What do you think the weather will be tomorrow? Give
us the weather report or forecast! Visit the weather journal to help make your
weather observations. When you are finished, copy and paste the journal URL onto
the discussion page. Have your learning coach help you if you need it!

Read at least 2 of your friend's observations. What is the same? What is different?
