Sun vs Shade
by Loy Guzman
Discuss with students how the size and shape of a structure helps to make different areas and shapes of shade. You might briefly discuss how some structures block the sunlight from the top only, while other structures may also block it from the side. Some structures, like large patio umbrellas, are made so they can be tilted at an angle to block the sun as the sun changes position in the sky during the day.
