Extractions: OPTICS FOR KIDS: Science and Engineering by Bruce Irving, Optical Research Associates A NOTE TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS: Elementary school children might enjoy this quick look at some optical basics, especially if coupled with some experiments from the Optics Discovery Kit from OSA or some creative play with the commercial program ZAP! . There's also a bit of a pep talk on science and engineering as careers. Please share this with your kids! Please note also that ORA does not sell lenses or other optical "hardware" for experiments. A local science or children's museum may sell simple lenses, prisms, mirrors, etc. Edmund Scientific Company is a good source for all sorts of optical and other scientific items for experimenters. Laser pointers are now quite inexpensive and can be used for optical experiments with colored filters, lenses, and optical fibers. You can buy laser pointers at office supply and electronics stores. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH LASERS. Even low-power laser pointers can cause injury if shined directly into eyes. Children should be supervised or be old enough to understand the safety issues and handle these devices safely.

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...

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.
