The Class Test

At a busy city bus stop, people wait on a sunny bench. Nia wants the waiting area to get less warm. Her class tests two model stops in sunlight. Each has the same paper bench. Both start at the same temperature. One has no roof. One has a solid card roof on blocks. After ten minutes, an adult measures both benches. The bench without a roof is warmer. The bench under the roof is less warm.

What should Nia's structure do?
