/s/ and /z/ are produced in almost the same way (the blade of the tongue touching the alveolar (or teeth) ridge firmly for /s/ and gently for /z/.
/s/ is voiceless, while /z/ is voiced.
/s/ and /z/ are both alveolar fricatives (‘alveolar’ because the blade of the tongue and the alveolar ridge are involved in their production).
Pronounce each pair of the above listed words to show clearly the distinctions between them.
