Crime Scene Investigation: DNA
1:00 PM
– 2:30 PM
W. Clarke Swanson Branch
Description
It’s what makes you, you and me, me. It can also be used to help law enforcement solve crimes. It’s Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, aka DNA!
Participants will get the opportunity to learn what DNA actually is and how CSI investigators use it to catch the bad guy. Participants will construct DNA using K'Nex®, discover how DNA sequencing aids investigators, and get to extract their own DNA and see it with their own two eyes!
All supplies will be provided. This program is suitable for children ages 10-15. Registration is required. Call Swanson staff at 402-444-4852 or email Stephanie at spoletti@omahalibrary.org to sign up.
