You look through everything that you have and then decide what resources you will use to teach your children.Its as simple as that and so its just the right approach to teaching science.
Give their curiosity free reign, but be close by to help
As they grow children will want to explore more of the world that they are in. You can help them by making them think up of and conduct their own experiments. After you finish with a topic in your science class ask them how best what they have heard can be put into practice. Let them come up with full fledged experiments that they can work on. Self help is often the best kind of help.
