They Might Be Giants are big on science education for kids, as evidenced by their recently released Here Comes Science children's album. Now they've released an interactive computer game which tests your scientific knowledge.

You shouldn't have any problems with the first question, since it asks you if science is real or fake. Well, maybe Jerry Falwell would have had problems with that question, but anyway... The questions are preceded by a variety of video clues that give hints to subjects like what the sun is made of, and whether cells are found in objects made of metal and plastic.

You can play the game below:
