About This Reader
This NGSS-aligned science reading passage explains how snow forms in the atmosphere. Students will learn about the process of deposition, where water vapor turns directly into ice around dust or pollen particles. The passage explores how snowflakes grow, why each one is unique, and what conditions are needed for snow to reach the ground. It also connects snow to the water cycle and explains how melting snow helps provide water to the environment. The passage supports NGSS standard MS-ESS2-5 and builds science literacy through real-world examples of frozen precipitation.
