Science - Structured Note Taking
News Clips Observations • Teacher shows short news clip without sound (related to
content goals). • Students write a description of the event based on their
observations using specific content vocabulary and concepts.
• Students share their quick writes with a partner.
• Replay the clip with the sound and ask students to compare
the accompanying news commentary to what they saw.

Math - Link to the Iowa Core
7.SP.5 - Understand that the probability of a chance event is between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
Brainstorming - (Student-Centered Classroom)
• Write for 2 minutes everything you know about probability. • At the end of 2 minutes, discuss at your table, and be prepared to
share one idea.

Lesson Purpose - Students will understand that the probability of a chance event is between 0 and 1.
Drawing and Illustration - (Teaching for Understanding) • Record your findings in an organized table, graph, or chart

Lesson Purpose - Students will understand a probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
Quick Write - (Rigor & Relevance)

• Based on your understanding of probability, include where it is most likely to snow, least likely to snow, and how you know this.
• What professions or business owners might be interested in this probability data and why?
