Can't resist adding a few book suggestions - he's a bit young but I think you two would enjoy looking through something like David MacAulay's Way Things Work. A book of science questions and answers might be fun too, like How Come? or National Geographic's Why?; there's an equivalent for younger kids too but sounds like you guys might prefer the big kids version. Mistakes that Worked is another great book.

I have had a bunch of books, but I have given a lot away to another 3-year-old who loves bodies, so some of the out-of-print or rare books are not easy to find for me. I have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/First-Human-Encyclopedia-Reference-Series/dp/0756609976/ref=pd_sim_b_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=14M5S3ATR6T05TJT3MTQ

I don't have the ones I listed below, but they look interesting. I have always had slightly "older" books than my kids, and let them look at the pictures and read what they were interested in. For example, my 4- and 7-year-olds have some books about the brain and are reading about neuroanatomy and neurotransmitters, and the central and peripheral nervous system, but sometimes they just pick up the books and look at the pictures and learn that the brain is responsible for all kinds of actions and thoughts and sensations.

Finally, these videos look pretty interesting, but I have not tried them:

It's not about fatherhood, really just about the first year of baby's life, but I recommend The Science of Mom (yeah, ok, the title literally says 'mom' not 'dad' - but ignore that bit!). It's an evidence-based guide on the first year of life, she goes over many studies and meta-analyses about many different parenting topics.

I've also heard great things about What's Going on in There?, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

This book https://www.amazon.com/Prehistoric-Actual-Size-Steve-Jenkins/dp/0618535780 features a feathered velociraptor. It is a pretty neat book with unique artwork, like grown up Eric Carle illustrations.

I'm taking my kids to the eclipse and I want it to be an opportunity for some methodical observation and a chance for them to make something that I (or they) can keep forever and always remember.

The concept is to project an image of the sun onto a flat surface, and then as the moon covers it, to trace out the increasingly crescent-shaped outline of the sun.

I got the little mirror from Amazon.

Here is a PDF of my worksheet.

You can see what time the eclipse will begin by typing your location in to this website.

The Scientist in the Crib. It's not about parenting exactly, but it will give you an informed perspective on child development.
