My Subsational Skin - Preschool Teaching Unit



My Sun-sational Skin Unit

My Sun-sational Skin Unit will focus on developing an awareness of the skin, how and why to protect it. This unit will focus on the importance of protecting the skin from harmful sun exposure. Children will learn ways in which they can act to guard themselves from excessive sun exposure and ways to seek help from others.

Goals and Objectives

  • Children will be able to identify the skin as a part of the body.

  • Children will be able to identify sun exposure as a potential health risk to the skin.

  • Children will be able to demonstrate ways to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure including using sunscreen, using a hat, and seeking shade.

  • Children will be able to identify adults responsible for assisting in the proper use of sunscreen.

Points to emphasize:

  1. The skin is protection for the body. It is important to take care of our skin.

  2. The sun can harm us if we are exposed to too much of it.

  3. Hats and sun glasses help us protect our eyes from too much sun.

  4. Our clothes and sunscreen help protect our skin from the sun.

  5. Children can ask an adult to help with the use of sun screen.

  6. Shade and indoor play during the sunniest hours of the day help protect our skin from the sun.
