Station 2
The Case of Skin Cancer
Follow the case of a young woman who has an unusual
mole on her shoulder. Students use the “ABCDE”
characteristics of skin cancer to determine that the mole
should be biopsied. They analyze a simulated biopsy and
determine that the mole is melanoma, a particularly
dangerous type of skin cancer. They use materials
provided to design and conduct an experiment to test
one way to reduce outdoor ultraviolet (UV) light
exposure. They use graphic cutouts to create a Skin
Cancer and Sun Safety infographic.
Station 3
Rules of Nine
Using the Rules of Nine to determine extent of burn. Scan the
code and watch the video then answer the questions that
follow.
Station 4
3-D Skin Model
Part 1: Using molding clay your group will create a 3-D
model of the skin. Your model must be accurate. You are
to also label your model. Part 2: Choose a
disease/condition to research.

Estimating Extent of Burns
A patient has burns on the front of both arms and her
entire chest above her costal margin. What is the most
accurate estimate of the amount of body surface burned
A 21 year old male tripped and fell into a small camp fire.
He has burns to his hands, anterior forearms and upper
chest. What percentage of his body has been burned?
A 60 year old man has been burned in a house fire. He has
partial and full thickness burns to the anterior surface of his
neck, chest, and abdomen. The approximate percentage of
burn injury sustained is:
A 23 year old male has partial thickness burns to his anterior thighs and full thickness burns to his
perineum. Using the rule of nines what is his percent of body surface area burned
A three-year-old male has received full thickness burns covering the arms, posterior trunk and right leg.
What percentage of burns did the child receive?
