### sense in the lessons

In everyday life and safety: a «no-parking zone», a «school zone» where cars must drive slowly, a «danger zone», a «quiet zone» in the library. In geography, climate zones (tropical, temperate, polar) and time zones divide the world; when you fly to another time zone, you change your clock. In PE, a playground may have zones for different games. In maths problems with time zones you add or subtract hours.
