How Much Surface Area Does Your Skin Take Up?

Students relate their body parts to six cylinders. They adjust the surface area of a cylinder formula, and then measure, record, and compute the approximate surface area of their skin. Students will develop a better understanding of how much skin covers up their body when they calculate how much surface area their skin takes up.
