Sun Safety Info
"Skin cancer caused primarily caused by sun exposure is the most common type of cancer in the United. "Someone dies of melanoma every hour in the United States. In 1930, an American’s lifetime risk of developing melanoma was 1 in 1500. Today, it is 1 in 75." But skin cancer is largely preventable, and you and your school can do something about it. Download the free twenty-page Sun Safe School Guide that outlines how your school can become sun safe. You’ll also find a single page handout for elementary students filled with tips and puzzles. Both are found under Fun Free Sun Safety Downloads. American Sun also sells a Sun Safety CD-ROM game and K-5 curriculum."

Sun Protection
"Sun Protection, from the research department of L’Oréal cosmetics, is my pick of the day. Divided into five sections, Sun Protection starts with an excellent explanation of the short- and long-term effects of sun exposure. Next it delves into our body’s natural defenses (the production of melanin, the tanning pigment,) skin types, and sun solutions. This site is so good, every page is a best click! If any of the scientific words stump you, you’ll find a glossary link at the bottom of every page."

In the Storybook, your child can create illustrations for a six-page sticker story. Activities include a puzzle with Ernie, another with Telly, and a four-page coloring book.

Scrambler
"This Scrambler game is fun for the whole family because you are timed as you play at one of three levels of difficulty. Easy divides the picture into nine tiles, medium into twelve, and hard into sixteen tiles. There are ten pictures to choose from, and every time I’ve visited this site they have added more Little ones will need help choosing a picture, then pressing "Load" and "Scramble". But as soon as they see the scrambled tiles, they will understand what to do next. Can you beat your preschooler? My little mouse clickers are fast."
