Frank
H. Harrison Middle School in Yarmouth has connected with doctors at
Maine Medical Center, the Maine chapter of the American Academy of
Pediatrics, and the Melanoma Foundation of New England to create an
innovative and engaging unit on skin cancer and tanning. The web base
program is an interdisciplinary approach that connects science, social
studies, and advocacy to reduce teen tanning, and to raise awareness of
the dangers of over exposure to UV rays. This is a perfect unit to
introduce at the Middle Level as the rate of skin cancer goes up to 58%
if teens get severe burns prior to 21 years of age.
