Skin and Sports

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Skin and Sports lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Worksheet
  • Informational Text
  • Join to access all included materials

The topic is protecting our own protective covering: the skin. In particular, the information deals with sweating as a means of temperature regulation and the need to wear clothing appropriate for allowing the process to occur. Learners also read about contusions, blisters, and sun damage. There isn't much to the lesson other than reading an article online and answering comprehension questions, but you may find it useful as an informational text exercise.
