 As a part of their SunWise unit students at Morrison Labs mapped out the shade at their school. They took a shade inventory and made a map to show high risk areas, areas with high student use and little protection from the sun. They also noted the different types of shade available at the high UV times of the day. |
Recently morrison labs visited Disneyworld on vacation, As Disney opens the Animal Kingdom park at Disneyworld each day they have a ceremony with a few of the characters. Minnie and Mickey Mouse have sunscreen at the top of their list. Disney gets an "A+" for promoting sun safety!

Jacky
Sims Story of Skin Cancer from YM magazine June
2004 Jacky was only 15 years old when she
found out she had skin cancer. I think you will find her
story eye-opening! Most people get 80% of their lifetime
exposure to the sun before the age of 18. The Curt and Shonda Schilling Melanoma
Foundation® http://www.shadefoundation.org/sams_stories_stuart_arizona.php http://www.shadefoundation.org/sams_stories_shannon_massachusetts.php http://www.shadefoundation.org/sams_stories_shannon_massachusetts.php Consumer Reports on Tanning
Beds http://www.wsj.consumerreports.org/wsjreport63.html "Oh Goodie I can't wait to have
all of these!" * wrinkles * brown age spots * blotchiness * leathery, sagging skin that
looks older than it is Yes you can have all these and
skin cancer too just by tanning your skin!
Tanning of any kind from any source can
increase your risk of getting skin cancer. No matter what
the tanning salons claim, tanning damages your skin, causes
premature aging of the skin and can have many serious health
consequences! http://www.kovr13.com/06jun02/062602c.htm http://www.newswatch50.com/guides/beauty/story.aspx?content_id=0934C540-25BB-49B4-9CAB-39D1E399A947 http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/2002/fyi/news/05/20/sun.exposure/index.html "The message is, 'A safe tanning bed is
like saying there is a safe cigarette. It doesn't exist,'"
says Shelley Sekula-Rodriguez, an assistant dermatology
professor at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston,
Texas. " ...If a person wants to add color, they should use
sunless tanners in a bottle. They are very safe."

Morrison labs gives Sanoe's new book
Surfer Girl: A Guide to the Surfing Life two BIG thumbs up.
This is a great book for anyone to that wants to know about
surfing. Sanoe has a fun way of writing that uses humor,
great illustrations, pictures, and most importantly SCIENCE
to teach you all about surfing. She even has a Surfer's
Molecule. Maybe this newly discovered surfer's molecule
could get her nominated for a Nobel Prize in chemistry!
This book is very fun to read and I
learned a lot about surfing. Anyone would enjoy
it! Below are pictures of some of the things
she signed. http://www.surfergirlthebook.com/ Recently actress, author, model, and
professional surfer, Sanoe Lake visited our school to talk
to our students about her new book Surfer Girl. She was very
kind and generous spending hours talking to our students and
signing her new book. Sanoe starred with Kate Bosworth and
Michelle Rodriguez in the movie Blue Crush. On pages 43-47 of her book Surfer girl
she has valuable information about protecting your skin from
the harsh effects of UV energy of the sun while surfing.
Thanks Sanoe Lake :) Blue Crush Stars Michelle Rodriguez, Kate Bosworth, Sanoe
Lake "Can a girl be cool while taking
precautions to avoid the sun? YES. Trashing your skin isn't
cool. Lotion before the ocean, honey." Sanoe Lake Taking care of your skin should be a top
priority for everyone. In her book she says she is a fanatic
about protecting herself. As a surfer Sanoe gets tons of sun
and applies a maximum sunblock SPF 50. She makes a point to
wear sun protection for your eyes, use hats while out of the
water. Seek shade when ever possible.
Thanks Sanoe Lake :)
