Likely and unlikely
"Some things are likely, some are unlikely," says Ollie. "More of something in the basket makes it easier to pull out."
1. Write likely or unlikely for each.
a) The sun will come up tomorrow.
b) A dog will read a book today.
c) It will be dark tonight.
2. Biscuit's basket has many brown gumnuts and just one green one.
Without looking, which colour are you more likely to pull out?
3. Pulling out the green gumnut is: (circle one) likely / unlikely
4. Pull a gumnut, look at the colour, then put it back. Do this 10 times and tally.
| Colour | Tally |
|---|---|
| Brown | |
| Green |
5. Did you pull more brown or more green?
