These are optional, not homework. No family needs to buy, photograph, upload or find special materials. Read the supplied fictional notebook or choose a short talk instead. An adult handles all actual materials; no plastic bags, sharp edges, face covers or bright-light experiments. Stop whenever it is no longer useful. Educators do not require completion or home evidence.

Day A two-minute choice What a useful answer could sound like
151 Point to frame and panel in the supplied window picture. “One object, two parts. The note tells us what they're made from.”
152 Predict what a covered familiar picture might look like before hearing one supplied model row. “I thought no circle. That row says a fuzzy circle.”
153 Choose two P/C/T notebook rows and compare them. “This row says edge; this one says no circle.”
154 Hear the P and PP model rows. What changed in the setup? “One sheet became two sheets in this model.”
155 After the school check, talk about a familiar model result and an unanswered question. “Seeing through it doesn't tell us how strong it is.”
156 Give an imaginary window helper one useful question. “Can we see the picture through this sample from here?”
157 Choose a peek or hide cover for a drawn paper character, using the notebook. “My character wants to hide, so I'd try the card in this model.”
158 Compare two invented rows that are the same or different. “Keep both rows. Don't erase the different one.”
159 Leave a private spoken/picture helper note with a source phrase. “Pip's pretend notebook says T showed the circle edge.”
160 Name a new practical question about the familiar window picture. “What else would we need to check before using it outside?”

Parents can enjoy the story without teaching terminology or giving a right answer. An adult report or model remains that source type; family participation is not assessed.
