              Body Science Ideas   
              Safety Skin 
              Use this activity to show 
              children how skin protects the body.  Fill two bowls with 
              water and  
              cover one with saran wrap to represent the skin.  Ask one of 
              the children to blow on top of the  
              bowls to represent wind.  Ask another child to drip a couple 
              of drops of blue food coloring onto 
 the bowls to represent rain.  Ask another child to sprinkle pepper 
              into each bowl to represent  
              dirt and germs.  Discuss and compare how the "skin" helps and 
              protects the water in one bowl.  
 Explain to the children that their skin protects their bodies from 
              weather, dirt, and germs.
