Class Session
-brief overview of hearing loss
-impact of regular headphone use on hearing damage
-sound meter activity that highlights

Agenda
  • Discussion: How is the sun helpful? And harmful? How do we protect ourselves from sun damage?
  • Activity: 1) Sunny Says (like Simon Says) activity to practice sun safe habits. 2) Animal trivia - how do animals protect themselves from the sun?
  • Students can wear their favorite hat and/or sunglasses during class - Nell and Kelly will!
