Me and my little future geek.

I have begun thinking that as a geek I have a certain reputation that I must uphold in relation to raising my children. I have been thinking about my children's education. Although I know that studies have been done about children who learn a specialized skill at an early age excel at it (i.e. chess), but I was considering what I would like my children to learn and hopefully love as they grow older. One of my main passions as I was growing up was computers and as such I am devoted to learning as much as I can about them. I was considering teaching my children about the sciences with chemistry in particular. I was wondering if anybody out there had ideas that my three year old might grasp and enjoy at the same time. I know that the biggest issue at this age is not necessarily teaching them the skills, but instead instilling a love of the subject. I'm not asking anybody to do homework for me but instead I was hoping to learn from peoples experiences. The first thing I'm going to do is make some non-Newtonian fluid and let her play with it and see how she reacts between it and water.
