How can I help my child to love science?

Answer: Expose your child to the best teachers of science.

Richard Feynman,  Nobel-prize-winning physicist and father of quantum mechanics, is a perfect ambassador for instilling a love of science into your kids.

When you child is ready (from 16 on?), urge him or her to watch the amazing Feynman 7-part lecture series.

In these lectures, Feynman is masterful, passionate, funny and articulate–and very, very likeable. Your child will not understand everything Feynman says (hardly anyone would I suspect), but your child will certainly pick up on how exciting scientific discovery can be.

In this video, Bill Gates explains how he came by the Feynman lectures and has made them available for everyone to enjoy:
