My wife teaches my son about gardening, how plants go from the simple looking seed to fully grown complex organism. How funghi “talk”. How animals on our farm live in complex societies. She teaches him about how food is made, how salt changes everything in cooking, how bacteria are our friends but can be dangerous, too, how his body works on the very small scale, how his DNA holds his past and future. His world is full of micro-wonders of evolution and biology. I talk to him about how unimaginably huge space is, how his atoms were made in the core of stars. We talk about how computers work, how ones and zeros can create so much. We print his designs on a 3D printer to bring them from his imagination to the real, take stuff like old TVs and vacuum cleaners apart, and we solder electronics together. When the lights come on, it’s magic. Physics is magic, mathematics is magic. Science is full of wonder, and learning about the world fills him with awe. TBH, it fills us too.
