A supersaturated solution is when there is more solute present in the solution than can be absorbed by the solvent. When it is disturbed, all of the solute that is not in solution falls out, sometimes forming crystals.

A precipitate forms because the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute and can no longer dissolve the excess. The excess therefore forms a precipitate. You can think of it this way. Imagine you are cleaning up juice that you spillt with a sponge. After a while the sponge becomes so filled with juice that it cannot soak up any more, or in other words the sponge becomes saturated with juice. In a similar way, after a while a solvent will no longer be able to "soak up" any more solute and the solute will remain as a precipitate.

it can become supersaturated by raising the temperature

i hope that helped. :) (Y) peace (Y) (:
