What Parents Need to Know
About Best Evidence
Parents need to know that this documentary series deals with conspiracy theories, presenting evidence from all sides of a given subject and using experiments to help support or undermine it. When the subject matter calls for it -- as in an episode about the crash of TWA Flight 800 -- computer graphics re-create explosions and fires, and video footage of mangled wreckage is shown. Discussions of government cover-ups and conspiracies are at the heart of the series, and kids may need some help deciphering fact from theory. Because the series covers such a wide range of topics, parents may want to scan episode listings before giving tweens the go-ahead.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about experiments. What kinds of experiments have kids done in school? Kids: How do you identify the hypothesis you want to test? What supplies and tools do you need to record your data? What do you do if your experiment fails? What theories would you like to test? What do you expect to find? How did scientists plan the experiments they did in this episode? Were you surprised by the results? Why?
