On the way to school, Ellie sat on a bench waiting for her friend. She noticed snow all around her. Later that day, Ellie and her friend walked home and passed the same bench. Ellie's friend said, “There is a puddle in front of the bench. It must have rained while we were in school, creating this puddle.” Ellie disagreed. She had a different claim about how the puddle formed based on the evidence from her observations. Ellie's evidence was as follows:

The park was covered in snow that morning but not in the afternoon.
Ellie didn’t need her jacket on the way home because it was so warm.
It was sunny all day.
Do you think the puddle was formed from rain? Why or why not?
