Although we learn that all living things contain DNA, it might seem a bit to abstract to many kids. And when we think of DNA, we picture the beautiful double helix, right? Well, it does sort of look like that, if we view it through the best microscopes there is. But if we look at it with our bare eyes, it looks more like snot. Or a blob, if you like. If you do not believe me, check it out for yourself. Exploring this fact is very easy, it is maybe one of the simplest experiments there is. There are many different protocols that work in the same manner.I have had success with the ingredients mentioned below, and the procedure (in Norwegian) can be found at Nysgjerrigper.no (written by Hanne Finstad).

cold water
salt (NaCl)
detergent (soap of some sort, containing sodium lauryl sulphate)

isoprophanol
There are plenty of good resources on this in english too, the research language above all. I have probably only seen a small percentage of them, but here are a few excellent sites:
How to extract DNA from anything living The University of Utah (with a funny twist)
DNA extraction The Gene School (good explanations)
How to extract DNA from fruits Fun Science Gallery (descriptive photos)

are capable of totally changing the map of the world. You may want to
use a carpenter's square to verify this.

HBO and Showtime are known for airing sexy TV series that feature a lot of sex and
skin - Game of Thrones, True Blood, and Californication are proof that a 50 Shades
of Grey TV series could work. Although it can be the easy, fast, and simple choice,
keep in mind that for the cost of that one meal, you can partake
in at least one other activity on another day.
