Question 11moving images and sound · extension

Use the three numbered panels; the dot moves once for five seconds, with a static fallback for reduced motion. You can trace the sequence with a finger at any time. For sound tasks, an adult or partner supplies the specified quiet taps/clap at a comfortable volume; no recording is required.

Original moving-image study: a ball rolls towards a block tower. The three panels show the start, approach and result.
An original three-frame storyboard: 1, a small ball rests high on a ramp; 2, the ball rolls downhill towards a tower of blocks; 3, the blocks fall. A dot below makes one five-second movement to demonstrate the direction from the ramp towards the tower.

Ask an adult to tap slowly while pointing to panel 1, then tap faster while following the moving dot towards the tower. Watch once with these sounds and once silently. Describe how sound changes your expectation.

What to aim for
  • Experiences both a silent and sounded version.
  • Names a change in the sound.
  • Explains a supported effect on the viewer.

Make two sound versions of panel 3: one soft tap and one sudden louder clap. Keep the drawing the same. Explain how the two versions change the apparent size or force of the event.

What to aim for
  • Compares two actual sound versions.
  • Keeps the image constant.
  • Connects loudness to an interpretation without calling it proof.

Imagine enlarging only the tower in panel 2 and making the other elements pale. Explain how that would change the viewer's attention before the fall.

What to aim for
  • Identifies changes in size or contrast.
  • Explains which element becomes prominent.
  • Connects attention with anticipation.
