For Kids

Here's a fun question: What's the biggest organ on your body? Your head? Your heart? Your eyeball?

Well, we gave you a bit of a hint... the biggest organ on your body is... your skin!

That's right - your skin is an organ. And you will spend the majority of your life protecting it. One of the biggest dangers to your skin is heat and UV rays that can damage your skin or initiate the possibility of cancer. And, as you've probably already heard, burns are the worst. Even a little burn can leave a scar for the rest of your life. 

The Burn Institute has come up with a fun,informative online kid's challenge that is perfect for you. It will help you understand the dangers of burns, and will give you some new ideas about being alert and avoiding burn danger!
