Science Facts Thursday: Postponed ...

We are super busy at the Cosmos and Crayons head office, so this weeks science facts Thursday will be postponed until next week. Sorry to disappoint any budding science fans out there, we are working on some exciting things.

In the mean time, I'll share some rejected Cosmos and Crayons artwork I did originally for the blog.

This one is currently my little picture on the right hand side bar. I drew this before I employed Sloth as my handy helper.

Cosmos and Crayons lettering, which I still love, and will no doubt use it for something at some point. The original title for my blog was 'The Cosmos, Crayons and Ginge, but I shortened it to Cosmos and Crayons.

My lovely little companion Sloth.

Ginge and Sloth

Just incase anyone was wondering, it's a little heart we are making with our hands ♥

Be sure to pop by next week, when we will be back on schedule and bring you some interesting science facts.

Science Facts Thursday: Skin

This week we take a look at the largest organ in the human body. No, not the brain, but skin! would you believe it?!
We are covered head to toe in skin, it protects our other vital organs, and helps keep everything in.

We have two main layers of skin, the epidermis and dermis.  The epidermis is what we see on the outside. Under the dermis is a layer of fat cells called the subcutaneous layer, this layer of fat helps to keep us warm.

Sloth here is demonstrating one way how our body keeps warm, by shivering. Our muscles jerk to produce heat.

Melanin also absorbs the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, which is why people with fair skin burn more easily than people with darker skin tones. This doesn't mean those with a darker complexion won't burn, so always make sure you apply a suitable suncream.

Here is a super summer song, apply suncream before listening.
