Alanna and Kevin are looking out the workshop window watching the rain teem down. They turn to see a totally soaked and dripping Uncle Norm standing there. He takes off his sunglasses and wipes rain off his eyeballs - he is totally perplexed. After all, it was really sunny when he left earlier. Alanna talks to a TV weather forecaster about chances and probability.
The Gist: This episode is about predicting the frequency of an outcome by interpreting data provided on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 100 (certain). In the curriculum, children are asked to describe probability as a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, using mathematical language (i.e., impossible, unlikely, less likely, equally likely, more likely, certain).
