 FOREWORD

This Self-Learning Kit is prepared for you to enrich your

knowledge on sun’s heat and light energy.
The activities in this learning kit will help you infer and
cite evidence that land, water, and air become warm
when the sun shines on you
It is expected that you will share your knowledge and
expertise to your friends on sun’s heat and light energy and
apply it to your day-to-day life.
May you will be challenged to learn more and
appreciate God’s blessings. Learn and enjoy!

II. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

Sci-Fact 1: The Sun is the center of our solar system.
Sci-Fact 2: The Sun is a star, and it is the closest star to
the Earth. It emits light and heat.
Sci-Fact 3: It takes only 8 minutes for light to reach Earth
from the Sun.
Sci-Fact 4: The distance between Earth and Sun
changes
Sci-Fact 5: The sun rotates in the opposite direction to
Earth.
Sci-Fact 6: Over 1 million Earth’s could fit inside the Sun.

DISCUSSION:
Why is sun protection important?
We all need some sun exposure. When skin is exposed
to the sun, our bodies make vitamin D, which helps the
body absorb calcium for stronger, healthier bones. It only
takes a little time in the sun for most people to get the

NegOr_Q4_Science2SSC_SLKWeek7_v2

6
vitamin D they need (and most vitamin D needs should be
met with a healthy diet and/or supplements).
Too much unprotected exposure to the sun's
ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause skin damage, eye
damage, immune system suppression, and skin cancer.
Even people in their twenties can develop skin cancer
Who needs sun protection?
Every child needs sun protection. The lighter
someone's natural skin color, the less melanin it must absorb
UV rays and protect himself. The darker a person's natural
skin color, the more melanin he has. But both dark- and
light-skinned kids need protection from UV rays because
any tanning or burning causes skin damage.
Here are the keyways to protect kids' skin:
• Use Sunscreen- The American Academy of
Dermatology (AAD) recommends that all kids —
regardless of their skin tone — use sunscreen with an
SPF of 30 or higher. Whatever sunscreen you choose,
make sure it's broad-spectrum (protects against both
UVA and UVB rays) and, if kids are in or near water, is
labeled water-resistant. Apply a generous amount
and re-apply often.
• Avoid the Strongest Rays of the Day- Try to stay in the
shade when the sun is at its strongest (usually from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. in the northern hemisphere). If kids are
in the sun during this time, apply and reapply
sunscreen — even if they're just playing in the
backyard. Most sun damage happens from exposure
during day-to-day activities, not from being at the
beach. Remember that even on cloudy, cool, or
NegOr_Q4_Science2SSC_SLKWeek7_v2

7
 overcast days, UV rays reach the earth. This "invisible
sun" can cause unexpected sunburn and skin
damage.
• Cover Up- One of the best ways to protect skin is to
cover up. To make sure clothes offer enough
protection, put your hand inside garments to make
sure you cannot see it through them. Even older kids
need to escape the sun. For outdoor events, bring
along a wide umbrella or a pop-up tent to play in. If
it's not too hot outside and will not make kids even
more uncomfortable, have them wear light long-
sleeved shirts and/or long pants.
• Wear Sunglasses- Sun exposure damages the eyes as
well as the skin. Even 1 day in the sun can lead to a
burned cornea (the outer clear membrane layer of
the eye). Sun exposure over time can cause cataracts
(clouding of the eye lens, which leads to blurred vision)
later in life. The best way to protect eyes is to wear
sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection.
What if my child gets a sunburn?
To all parents, please read this- When kids get
sunburned, they usually have pain and a sensation of heat
— symptoms that tend to get worse several hours after sun
exposure. Some also get chills. Because the sun has dried
their skin, it can become itchy and tight. Sunburned skin
begins to peel about a week after the sunburn. Encourage
your child not to scratch or peel off loose skin because skin
underneath the sunburn is at risk for infection.
To treat a sunburn:

NegOr_Q4_Science2SSC_SLKWeek7_v2

8
1. Have your child take a cool (not cold) bath, or gently
apply cool, wet compresses to the skin to help ease pain
and heat.
2. Apply pure aloe vera gel (available in most drugstores)
to any sunburned areas.
3. Give your child an anti-inflammatory medicine like
ibuprofen or use acetaminophen to ease the pain and
itching. (Do not give aspirin to children or teens.)
4. Apply moisturizing cream to rehydrate the skin and treat
itching. For the more seriously sunburned areas in kids over
2 years old, apply a thin layer of 1% hydrocortisone cream
to help with pain. (Do not use petroleum-based products,
because they prevent excess heat and sweat from
escaping. Also, avoid first-aid products that contain
benzocaine, which may cause skin irritation or allergy.)
5. If the sunburn is severe and blisters develop, call your
doctor immediately. Tell your child not to scratch, pop, or
squeeze the blisters, which can get infected and cause
scarring.
6. Keep your child out of the sun until the sunburn is healed.
Any further sun exposure will only make the burn worse and
increase pain.
