How can I talk to my child about research?

How can I talk to my child about research in a way they can understand?

Start by using simple language and relatable examples. What specific research topic are you thinking about?

I want to explain climate change research to them.

You could explain it like this: 'Scientists study how our planet is changing, just like how we notice the weather changes.' Does that help?

Yes, but how do I keep them engaged?

Try using visuals, like pictures or videos, and ask them questions to encourage their curiosity. What age are they?

They're 8 years old.

Great! You can use fun facts and interactive activities, like experiments, to make it more engaging for them.
