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.

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)

0

Which light source did you choose?

2

How and why did the light you selected impact genetic material in a skin cell?

"The light source I selected impacted genetic material by .... because ... "

0

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?

"When the glass was placed in front of the genetic material it cause the genetic material to ... . This is different from the first trial because ... "

0

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

"Some types of light can cause skin cancer while other cannot because light is (absorbed/transmitted/reflected).

This is important because (absorbed/transmitted/reflected) cause changes while (absorbed/transmitted/reflected) do not."

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.
