Prompt: How does melanin provide protection against skin cancer?
Examine and annotate this screenshot from the Sim, then write an explanation of how this evidence helps answer the question. Use the following words in your explanation:
absorb
energy
light
CFS:
Accurately identifies the type of light reactions that cause changes in objects
Accurately describes the relationship between wave properties and outcomes

"I think melanin provides protections against skin cancer because ... "

When studying the connection between melanin levels and skin cancer risk, scientists group people by how much melanin they have in their skin cells. Below are two bar graphs, one for Brazil and one for Australia. Each bar graph shows the estimated percentage of the population with different levels of melanin. Examine and annotate this evidence, using the questions below to guide you.

Create a visual graph of the data from Brazil and Australia below.

Include:
- accurate ranges on the X and Y axis
- accurate data points representing the data from the table
(tip: create a graph with both Brazil and Australia represented)

Compare and analyze the graphs. What does the evidence show is a difference between the two groups?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the type of light reactions that cause changes in objects
Accurately describes the relationship between light interaction and outcomes
"I see that in Brazil melanin ...

In Australia ... "

The World Ultraviolet (UV) Light Map below shows the amount of UV light reaching the surface. Examine and annotate the maps, using the questions below to guide you.

How does this evidence help explain why the skin cancer rate is higher in Australia than in Brazil, even though the two countries get the same amount of sunlight?
