About This Lesson

Nintendo's Wii. Sony's PlayStation 3. Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite. They promise a whole new generation of high-definition gaming, but when it comes to the crunch, it's the same old story. As our search for greener electronics continues, it was time for the game consoles to go to our labs for scientific analysis -- and all of them tested positive for various hazardous chemicals.

A clip that should get a fair few of the class squirming! This is relevant and worrying, but I do wonder how many teenagers would even consider taking their games consoles to bits?

An interesting video but many kids would not be able to make the connection between the contaminants and hazardous materials on their systems with diseases or health concerns.
