Skin has another function that it vital to your survival: temperature regulation. Being exposed to high temperatures causes your skin’s pores to open up and release sweat onto your body. This helps cool us off by the resulting process of evaporation.
Your pores will close in extremely cold temperatures. Also, the body stops blood flowing to the skin in order to conserve heat for the important vital organs and their processes.
In this lab, we study the moisture that your skin produces – even when you are not aware of it!

we tried the experiment 50 min and are hands got so wrinkled.
Sure! These experiments are just the starting point… I want YOU to come up with improvements and get creative with it. 🙂
Is it ok if I do different time so it dose not take so long?
But it still worked great!
thank you so much
hi, its batsheva,
nothing is capital because i’m typing with only one hand, the hand that’s not in the bag. since i’m right handed and that’s the hand i put in the bag 4 the experiment i’m typing with my left hand and it’s hard.
i just wanted 2 say that this is so cool. i’m up to about 27 min and i can c the bag fogging up and droplets of sweat gathering on my hand. i can really c the process of what happens when my body heats up, i love this experiment thank u so much!
gotta go write down in my data table what’s been happening because 30 min just passed.
bye.
