The Snowflake's Journey: From Sky to Stream
Imagine a fluffy snowflake, freshly fallen from the sky. The snowflake, which we'll name Frosty, sits on top of a snow-covered hill. But as the sun's warm rays reach Frosty, he begins to change. This process is called melting. Frosty, like other snowflakes, is made of water in a solid form called ice. When the sun's heat warms Frosty, it provides the energy needed for the ice to transform into a liquid state - water. This is because the heat makes Frosty's water molecules move faster, breaking their solid formation. Now Frosty, as a tiny droplet of water, starts a new journey. He trickles down the hill, joining other droplets to form a stream. Frosty's journey from a snowflake to a stream is an amazing example of how nature works through processes like melting. So, the next time you see a snowflake glistening in the sun, remember Frosty and his incredible journey.
Question 1
What is the process called when a snowflake changes into water?
Freezing
Evaporating
Melting
Condensing
Subliming
Question 2
Why do Frosty's water molecules move faster?
Because of the cold
Because of the wind
Because of the sun's heat
Because of the rain
Because of the moon's gravity
Question 3
What is Frosty made of?
Water in a gaseous state
Water in a liquid state
Water in a solid state
Water in a plasma state
None of the above
Question 4
What happens to Frosty after he melts?
He evaporates into the sky
He trickles down the hill
He freezes again
He disappears
He turns into a gas
Question 5
What does Frosty turn into at the end of his journey?
A cloud
