- Do research
- Create a hypothesis
- Design an experiment to test the hypothesis
- Perform the experiment
- Study the results and make a conclusion
- Communicate the results to your peers.

If given a chance to advice Mr. Smith, I would recommend him
to minimize going out in the sun when it is at the peak of the morning but if
not possible since he works under the sun, it would be good to put on sunblock
with a highest SPF and use precautionary measures like using hats and wearing
long sleeve to protect also the skin. More
water to hydrate, and vitamins for skin protection.
