In my many years of living, kids ask the most pesky questions. I am not sure of what you are trying to achieve Craig.
The only thing one can do is answer at a level that keeps their interest.
Going into the esoteric no matter how interesting does not work.
You have to give a simple yet true version of reality.
It is a bit like the little girl that asked her father what vice meant. After a stuttering semi explanation he finally said, why do you ask. And she said that she had just been made vice captain of her class.
Communication is paramount.
A very good teacher flies on feedback from the students.
I could try and do what you defined but it would lack any sort of interaction.
My personal method would be to inspire and then see who does the hard work to get to the pinnacles of human knowledge.
Of course this depends when I feel inspired.
