The document discusses why wearing sunscreen and using other sun protection methods is important. It explains that the sun gives off ultraviolet rays (UVRs) that can damage skin and potentially cause skin cancer if exposed to too much. Skin cancer is a serious condition that involves the overdevelopment of skin cells from sun exposure, which can become a harmful virus in the body if the cells enter the bloodstream. The document emphasizes protecting skin from UVRs to prevent skin damage and cancer.

1. Sun Smart
Why you should wear sunscreen
and use other sun blocking
methods?

2. What is the sun
• You May know that the sun is a star but
the sun gives off lots of UVRs (Ultra Violet
Rays). The earth’s atmosphere filters
some of the rays so that it is not just plain
radiation and helps us on earth. Also so
the earth doesn't become super cold or
super hot and it basically powers our eco
system. Plants and animals need UVRs
too.

3. Skin
• Your skin is one of the most important
organ of your body and is also the biggest.
Yep your skin is a organ too.
• Your skin uses the sun like a solar panel it
takes the suns energy and it produces
more skin. Too much of UVRs can
develop skin cancer.

4. Skin Cancer
• Skin Cancer is a serious thing People have to
take off half of there face to remove it.
• Skin Cancer is a overdevelopment in the skin
that the sun helps this process. The
overdeveloped cells become a harmful virus
to the body. If they get in your blood stream
you have to have pills and antibiotics to slow
and stop the deadly process.
