When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.
Well I was closer to 6 and 7, but I grew up with Mr. Wizard. He was probably Bill Nye’s inspiration. Unpatronizing, simple, and straightforward science for kids. Man was a national treasure.
