Abstract

Hello year three and four students - thanks for your excellent question! To understand burns, we need to understand some things about the skin. Did you know your skin is made up of three different layers? You might have heard of burns being called first-degree, second-degree or third-degree burns. This tells us how many layers of skin are affected and how deep the burn is.
