The Sun makes all life possible on Earth, but sometimes, its radiation can be harmful. Join us as we explore how to protect ourselves from the Sun's ultraviolet rays. We will first make a UV creature with color-changing beads and pipe cleaners, then we will determine how to best protect them from ultraviolet light. Finally, we will make a simple detector to determine if UV radiation is affecting you.
