Pip's pretend window labFoundation Science · T4 W31–32 · Interactive activity
Choose a cover for Pip's window. Does the supplied notebook say the helper could see the big circle? Would your paper puppet like to peek out or hide?
This is an invented record. It cannot test a real material. Your actual paper or panel may give a different result.

P · one white paper sheet
“I can see a pale circle shape. Its edge looks fuzzy.”
Model P · Pictures. Supplied fictional view, not an experiment.
The full fictional notebook
Same supplied circle target, viewing place and ordinary room lighting. All four results below are invented teaching data. This table also works without JavaScript.
| Cover | Supplied helper observation |
|---|---|
| P · one white sheet | I can see a pale circle shape. Its edge looks fuzzy. |
| C · one thick opaque card | I cannot see the circle through the sheet. |
| T · one clear plastic sheet | I can see the circle and its edge. |
| PP · two white sheets stacked | I cannot make out the circle through these two sheets. |
One good next question: what would you need to check before using a real sample for your own window?
No camera, microphone, accounts, uploads, saved answers or automatic sound. A child may point, tell, sign, use AAC or direct an adult. The equivalent paper task is choosing a notebook row and comparing its words.
