Genetic Engineering: A Guide For Kids By Tiki The Penguin Click here to go to my links page to find out more about groups concerned about geneticengineering and who are trying Good luck kids. It s your world ! http://www.oneworld.net/penguin/genetics/GE13.html
Extractions: What can kids do? Lots of things. If you are worried about GE, here's what you can do: Find out about others who feel the same way. There are hundreds of groups in many countries all working to wake up other people to the possible risks of GE. You can join and I've listed some on my links page. You can send emails or write letters to your local or national government in your country - that would really surprise them. Better still, call or write to supermarket managers or even the companies who make GMOs. Tell them what you think and why. You can pester your mum or dad to help you (and them) find out more. Get them to buy organic food (which is not allowed to contain any GMOs). If you have a garden or yard, try growing your own vegetables. It's fun... and then you know where your food came from. You could even keep a couple of hens for eggs (being a bird myself, I don't like to think about eating eggs but I don't suppose the hen will mind if you're kind to her). Or buy local food , perhaps from a farmer's market, your local farm or join a veg box scheme. Again, you know where the food comes from, who grows it and what it is they grow.
Genetic Engineering: A Guide For Kids By Tiki The Penguin What s wrong with genetic engineering? Getting rich quick by owning life. Whatcan kids do? Yes you can do something My links to other useful sites. http://www.oneworld.net/penguin/genetics/home.html
Extractions: Engineering Genetic engineering is about scientists altering the 'recipes' for making life - the genes which you find in all living things. Doing this is very clever and could be very useful. But it all seems to be happening much too fast and nobody knows what the effects of making and eating such living things will be. Many kinds of life could be damaged. And suppose people eat 'genetic' food for many years? Will they be harmed by it? Nobody knows for sure. So why the rush? Scroll down to find out more... But first, click here to find out how you can use this guide. You may not want to look at all of this guide right away, so you can jump to any part that interests you from table at the bottom of this page.

Extractions: Bush Vindicated: Weapons of Grass Destruction Found in Iraq! Bush Vindicated: Marines Find Weapons of Mass Reduction AND Grass Destruction in Iraq! Details about these amazing finds are now available as a Cracked Planet News Release . Though not technically "weapons of mass destruction," Donald Rumsfeld explained that weapons of mass reduction - including thousands of brutal "StairMaster" and "Nordic Track" torture devices - are close enough. And now any doubts about the justification behind the war should be removed thanks to the related discovery of chemical weapons of grass destruction - including an entire factory for making the infamous biotoxin, "Agent Roundup," that was intended to be used against the vital grasslands, lawns, and golf courses of the United States. Rumsfeld wiped a tear away as he asked, "If we had not invaded, who knows who many Americans would have suffered if these weapons had made it to our shores?"

Many of you have sent us questions on topic ideas and we have added some websites to give you more choices. Ideas for science fair projects come from many sources. Here are websites that can get you started in the right direction with some basic ideas which you can develop into projects, or you may find full explanations of projects you can do. Just remember to choose a topic that interests you and have fun with your project! Bill Nye The Science Guy "Agriculture doesn't have its own category in science fairs, but it is a part of many of the "official" categories. Here, we've put together a few basic ideas of agricultural science projects you can do. Use these ideas as a jumping-off place for coming up with your own project."
