Extra Credit Opportunities
We have been learning about the dangers of too much UV exposure. For extra credit encourage teenagers to act safely in the sun and educate your peers about sun protection. Some possible topics might be:
How to protect our skin and eyes while enjoying the sun.
Reasons to be careful, what happens with too much sun.
What common places to people overlook when putting on sunscreen?
What do teens know and what are their attitudes on this topic?
What is UV?
Ideas for ways of presenting what you learned:
1. Film a short video commercial on video. (30 seconds to one minute)
