In our second lesson on exploring light, the children in Year 3 learned about ultraviolet light from the sun and the effects it can have, both positive and negative, on our bodies.
We looked at sun creams with different SPF levels and predicted which would provide the best protection against UV rays. We then covered UV beads with the different sun creams and took them outside in the sun.
The beads with no protection turned a dark purple colour almost immediately, while those coated in factor 50 sun cream remained completely unchanged. When we had discussed our results we returned to the classroom to record them.
