They're relatively expensive, but if you want a good inquiry-based
table-top activity for sun safety, I would invest in a bunch of
UV-reactive beads (plastic pony beads that change color when exposed to
UV).  A dish or strand of those, a source of sunlight, and an array of
sunblock lotion, sunglasses, umbrella material, etc. is all you need -
kids can then test the effectiveness of different methods of protection.
Something to think about.
