Hi there,

I just got given the science project if sunblock could stop the vitamin D prodcution in our body? Is there any method out there which can test this? I know it is a board question ?
Thanks in advance for the person who can help

Check out this project:

Since we know that Vitamin D depends on sunlight (UV- light) listing this will need to be modified so fit the question. Specifically, the experiment will help you measure how much UV light passes through with and without sunblock. Then some research can help relate that to vitamin D production.

Good Luck!
