About this reader
This NGSS-aligned science passage explains how sleet forms in the atmosphere. Sleet begins as snow high in the clouds, melts into rain in a warm air layer, and then refreezes into small ice pellets as it falls through a colder layer closer to the ground. The passage compares sleet to freezing rain and explains how their formation is different. It also discusses how sleet affects roads and safety during winter storms. With clear explanations and vocabulary support, this passage helps middle school students understand frozen precipitation and supports NGSS standards about weather and atmospheric processes.
