The Australian Health Alliance is counting on you to help people understand how skin cancer occurs. Use the Modeling Tool activity: The Cause of Skin Cancer on the next page to show your thinking, following the steps below. When you are finished, add a written explanation of how light from the sun can cause skin cancer.
Amplify Science:
Unit 6: Light Waves
Chapter 1: Changes Caused by Light
Lesson 1.3: Exploring Change from Light (simple mode)
Goal: Show how light from the sun can cause skin cancer.
Do:
• Choose a source from the word bank and add it to the model.
• Choose a change from the word bank and add it to the model.
• Annotate your model to help explain your ideas.
Trial 1: Presence of skin cancer (Identify the type of light that causes damage)
Which light source did you choose?
How and why did the light you selected impact genetic material in a skin cell?
Place the “glass” on space 1 in front of the “genetic material” (on space 2). Is there the same effect? Why did a difference occurr?
Why can some types of light cause skin cancer but others cannot?
CFS:
Accurately identifies how light interaction change objects
Accurately describes the relationship between light interactions and changes in objects


How do you think the amount of sunlight impacts the rate of skin cancer around the world?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the differences in the outcome of two tests or trials
Accurately describes the relationship light and skin cancer
Explanation includes 1-2 pieces of supporting evidence/reasoning.
