Does window film affect construction paper fading?

The construction paper protected by the window film will fade less than the paper that is unprotected.

Overview of procedures:

The students placed black, blue, and red construction paper squares on the classroom window sill so that one group of squares would be protected by the reflective window film and one group would not. A control group was placed in envelopes to protect the squares from any light exposure.

The students all agreed that the unprotected pieces of construction paper faded the most.
