make observations and record the results.
review materials and websites for information.

Explanation:

When a problem is identified (the sun is overhead with no shade), the next step in the scientific method is to make observations and record data. Analyzing data comes after collecting it. Answering a question with knowledge is too vague without prior data. Reviewing materials is more of a later - research - based step rather than the immediate next step after problem identification.

Answer:

Make observations and record the results.
