About the Hailstone ball of ice
A hailstone is a ball of ice that falls from a tall storm cloud. Inside the cloud, a droplet gets tossed up high, freezes, and gains layer after layer of ice before it is heavy enough to drop. Some hailstones stay tiny, but others grow surprisingly big. Add this printable to a storm-science lesson and trace the round hailstone down.
- Hail forms as ice builds up in layers inside a tall storm cloud.
- Hail can fall in warmer weather, unlike snow, which needs the cold.
