How Can I Best Encourage My 9 Year Old's Interest in Science?

I'm looking for ideas for example, any toys / games I could buy, any fun Youtube videos / TV programmes we could watch, simple experiments we could do, any particular places we could visit (in person or online), anything really.

Thanks

@ErrolTheDragon oh thank you for saying that! I forgot to put a safety warning there. I meant things like vinegar, Lemon juice, bicarbonate, toothpaste, shampoo etc... not any of the nasties!

I teach science and would say at that age make it as fun as possible
also google online science resources as there is tons of resources available
the Crest Awards are also fantastic and reward extra science work
again there is lots of online home school resources to bring to her

Biscuitmonster2318, thanks so much for the tip about the Crest Awards. I'd never heard of them. They sound great.

Just in case anyone else was interested in this, I found that Pawprint Badges have a couple of interest Badges that will encourage a love of science.
