Catalog #STO-CEH8

Explore how UV radiation exposure increases skin cancer risk.

Time To Complete Time to complete: Approximately 20-30 minutes + discussion time

Key Learning Objective:  UV (ultraviolet) radiation is the main environmental risk factor for skin cancer.

  • Use the “ABCDE” characteristics of skin cancer to determine whether a young woman should have a doctor check an unusual mole.
  • Use photosensitive beads and sun safety pictures to explore ways to prevent UV radiation exposure.
NOTE: Science Take-Out Community Environmental Health (CEH) kits are simplified versions of our “regular” kits (shortened/modified activities and lower literacy).

CEH kits use hands-on activities to engage diverse community audiences in learning about environmental health issues. The kits also encourage discussions about ways to reduce exposures to environmental health hazards. Each CEH kit contains materials to be shared by two participants.
