National Skin Safety Month

From blemishes to suntans, young people are naturally fascinated by skin. And the summer is when it's most exposed to the elements that make it change. The Science NetLinks Skin Deep Project takes advantage of this curiosity, introducing students in grades 6 through 12 to the science of skin, including its role in protecting the body from invading microbes, maintaining temperature, and sensing the environment. As they learn how their skin protects them, they also learn how they can protect their skin. A perfect resource for National Skin Safety Month.
