Grade 6 Science class had some fun with sun, despite this rainy week. These inquisitive minds were educated consumers for a variety of sunblock lotions. The investigative skills of these Middle School scientists analyzed medical information, price points, and advertising gimmicks on sunblock with varied SPFs, brands, and sizes. Do we have to play sports to wear Sports Sunblocks? Is there a significant difference between SPF30 and SPF50? Is “#1 Choice by Dermatologists” a reliable claim? They mixed a little bit of Math, a little bit of Language Arts, and a whole lot of sunblock together. These smart scientists put their noses to the grindstone and will take their results to an education campaign that will help to guide fellow students through the maze of sunblocks.
