Editor’s Note: We are always looking for ways to inform parents of programs that will help them raise their children. Well we found one it is called “Special Agent Bobby Bureau”. We will be joining him to give you tips for kids of all ages. The best way to tell you about this agent is to let him tell you himself.

The Kids’ Page is designed for children and their parents to learn more about the FBI through age-appropriate games, tips, stories and inter actives. We also introduce you to our working dogs and show how FBI special agents and analysts investigate cases. First, can you help Special Agent Bobby Bureau get in disguise for his undercover assignment? He’s depending on you. You have to visit the sight to sign up as a special agent.

Today’s  we talk “DNA”

We would like to know what you think? dan@youngchronicle.com

We strongly recommend that you visit this sight with your child. This sight we rate a 10.

 

 

There are other ways of telling people apart besides fingerprints. Did you know that each of us is made up of millions of cells and inside those cells are particles called DNA? It is everywhere in our bodies, including in our hair, blood, saliva, skin, and bones. These particles make up a code that is used to tell people apart. Identical twins share DNA coding, but they are the only people who do. This makes DNA an excellent way of telling people apart. It has become a very important tool in solving crimes when no fingerprints can be found.

Next Week: We will talk about: Polygraph
