What Parents Need to Know
About Head Games
Parents need to know that this humor-laced game show -- which tests contestants’ grasp of scientific facts and concepts -- is filled with content that's both intriguing and educational. The series shows a variety of experiments in action and challenges participants to predict the outcome before it’s revealed, so viewers learn plenty about basic scientific principles at work. The show's content touches on many areas of both natural and laboratory science, so there’s plenty of material for all levels of interest. That said, much of the subject matter is too advanced for little kids to understand, so the show is more age-appropriate for tweens and up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the media's role in education. Tweens: Do you think TV can be used as a learning tool? Why or why not? Which shows have taught you something? Can television offer anything that textbooks can't?
- How much does the Internet play a role in how and what you learn? Do you use it as a tool for research and homework? What would you do without it? What are the dangers of the Internet? What rules does your family have for Internet safety?
- How does science affect our daily lives? What advancements do you rely most heavily on? What aspects of scientific study intrigue you?
