3.Too small to be observed(Telescope, microscope, lens, drawings, films slides, models, pictures)

4.Too dangerous to permit live observation (simulators, films, slides, pictures)

5. Too large to be easily comprehend (models, mock-ups, films, slides, diagrams)

6.Taking place some distance away in time and in spaces (simulators, films, field trips, dramas, slides, pictures)
