Do Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors?




It's a fair question! And I wouldn't draw a conclusion too quickly. Because if cell phone radiation does cause cancer, a whole lot of us are in trouble. Join Derek Mueller of the Veritasium YouTube channel as he "takes it to the streets" and dissects the various studies and possible means by which this question can be reliably answered. Join Derek at ... 


And for the teachers among us: why not make plans to present the question to your classes using the Science Reasoning passage present at our website that is titled Cell Phone Radiation. The passage presents both sides of the question to students and challenges them to analyze the arguments and draw some conclusions.


We recommend that you challenge your students to the Reading Passage first and then use the Veritasium video as the follow-up.
