- What’s on the Sun & UV poster?

- Who is the Sun & UV poster for?
- Sun & UV belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning prevention can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Sun & UV poster?
- Shade and clothing outperform sunscreen. Sunscreen is the third line, not the first. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Sun & UV belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Sun & UV?
- Air Quality, Antibiotics and Blood Pressure sit alongside Sun & UV in the Body & health section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Air QualityAntibioticsBlood Pressure
- Is the Sun & UV poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Sun & UV downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Body & health section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Sun & UV poster print at?
- Sun & UV is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Sun & UV loses nothing.Printing guide
