Working Under the Sun – Student Activity Sheets

This is a student worksheet packet on UV exposure and sun safety in agricultural settings. It begins with a “First Day in the Field” short-story reading and analysis activity, followed by a hands-on “UV Exposure Investigation” in which students test UV-reactive items (beads/cards/bracelets) across five conditions (direct sunlight, shade, under plastic/glass, covered with soil/dirt, and covered with a hat or fabric), and concludes with an “Agricultural Career Risk Snapshot” group research activity connecting UV exposure to occupational risks and protective strategies.
