The cell phone you're using is making you deaf: news at 11:00. Oftentimes, the media uses fear tactics and other techniques to increase its audience base. In an intriguing look at the difference between scientific journals and journalism, high school or college biologists jigsaw four mainstream media articles and read one journal article about the link between cell phones and tumors, then discuss several analysis questions in groups. In addition to learning about possible media bias, the lesson is excellent for developing real-world science connections and making it relevant to our learners' lives.
