Positives

• Diagrams are used to clearly convey the concept.
• The design and technology principles discussed in the video are simple and can easily be used by students in their own projects.

Additional Prerequisites

• The concept of daylighting is applicable globally but the specific examples of window orientation given in the video only apply to the United States and areas of that latitude.
  

Differentiation

• Students could use the information in this video to redesign their school or house to better incorporate daylighting.
• Students living in a different latitude than the U.S. could explore the window orientations that would be necessary in their area to achieve the same effects described in the video.
• Other resources that discuss harnessing passive energy from the sun are this Khan Academy video on solar energy and this e-book called Earth's Energy Resources: Solar Energy.
