Having mentored quite a few gifted science students, the best thing that I have found is to give them a problem, give them a bunch of things and tools that they can break and tell them find a solution.
Find time to discuss various solutions or find mentors for your child who can do the same.
Let the child understand more, not by making, but by breaking the problem down to the smallest units possible and see the connection.
With the same philosophy we are working to build one room labs in public schools in Nepal called tinker lab (www.tinker-lab.org)
