Sun Prints

We have a subscription to The Happy Scientist. I love this site. The Happy Scientist is a jovial, bearded man who makes videos, performs science experiments, and poses trivia questions to his young fans. He reminds me of a modern-day Mr. Wizard. 

A while back, Homeschool Buyers Co-Op had a half-off membership to The Happy Scientist. We paid only $10 for a yearly subscription to the premium site features. Even at full price, $20 is a very low price to pay for all the wonderful science you can explore on his site. But, hey! I just checked, and it is still half-off at homeschool buyers co-op! This is a great deal. I highly recommend it!

Anyway, today, Tuna and I made sun prints. The Happy Scientist has a premium video about making sun prints, why they work, and the effects of UV rays. Tuna was impressed that it worked the way he said it would, and we discussed the need for sunscreen when outdoors: the sun prints were a visual representation of what sun screened skin looks like versus unprotected skin.
