In my personal lived experience, yes. Kids learn complex subjects/topics without you even knowing it until they open their mouths. She will surprise you!
Try books instead? Even if they're overly complex, if they have compelling imagery, it could be worth it. Books will allow her to flip through the pages back and forth plus provide her with some physical connection versus passive listening.
I had a scientific text with imagery of an Escherichia virus T4 (it looks like a machine and alive! What kid wouldn't like that?) and I recall how cool that was, though I couldn't understand any of the surrounding text. But these books allowed me to find interest in the imagery which led to interest in the subjects with age-appropriate books and other media.
As a kid, my mom got me a flip book of body systems - nervous, circulatory, muscular, organs...i loved it. My son couldn't care less about a similar book :) so in my experience its about offering things until you see they latch on and then you can explore the age appropriate depth they will enjoy rather than it being "school" time.
