Engineering Shelters to Protect an Animal from the Sun (Day 2)

In science, student engineers finished their shelter plans and moved into the next phase of the engineering process by creating their shelters together with their team.  As they constructed, they discovered that improvements were necessary so they cycled through the engineering process many times to meet their goal of creating a shelter to protect an animal from the sun.  Then, their completed shelters were put to the test by using a black light to see if their animals were truly protected from the sun.  Afterwards, the teams reconvened to discuss if their shelters were successful and any potential improvements that could be made in the future.
