Where can I find the best sunscreen?

You can buy sunscreen at any drugstore like Walgreens or CVS. Walmart, Target, grocery stores and supermarkets also carry sunscreen. The best suncreen you can buy, in my opinion, is sports sunscreen because it is waterproof, sweat resistant, and longer lasting than regular sunscreen. Also, always make sure to get SPF 30 or higher for better protection.


Where could a person buy waterproof sunblock?

A shop that has a skin care department or a pharmacy is a good place to buy a waterproof sunblock. A "water resistant", rather than "waterproof", sunscreen is a more accurate description when searching for one.

The independent variable in a experiment may cause a change in?

Rather than answer your question directly I'll describe the scientific process. 1. Make an observation: I still get sunburn after swimming even if I use waterproof sunscreen. 2. Form a hypothesis: Waterproof sunscreen washes of just as fast as regular sunscreen. 3. Design an experiment: 3A. Identify an independent variable that you can control: how long I am in the water 3B. Identify a dependent variable that you can measure and that you think will vary in a predictable fashion as you change the independent variable: How much of a burn do I get after an hour in the sun. 4. Perform the experiment and collect data: 4A. Do a control experiment: Compare waterproof sunscreen to regular sunscreen (apply one to one arm and one to the other) and see if they preform similarly without water exposure. 4B. Do the rest of the experiments: Put regular sunscreen on side of your back and waterproof on the other. Sit neck deep in water in the shade for 10 minutes (or however long you choose for your experiment). Every 10 minutes sit higher in the water so that a larger portion of you back with sunscreen is no longer immersed. Mark the water level on your back for each interval. Finally, lie in the sun with your back exposed long enough to start seeing an effect. 5. Analyze the data: Compare the normal sunscreen side to the waterproof side to see if the waterproof side is the same or better. 6. Modify your hypothesis to better explain the data: Water proof sunscreen retains its effectiveness but only if you spend less than an hour in the water. 7. Test your new hypothesis using the method above. 8. If you are satisfied with the predictive ability of your hypothesis you can explore other aspects of the observation: Will swimming versus sitting still in the water effect how long waterproof sunscreen maintains its effectiveness in the water. If you read through my description you will find the answer to the question posed. Max L.
