5. Science and Tigers Tips:  Encourage them to find their own answers to questions  Let them learn to see patterns in the world  Starting to learn concepts beyond what they can explore concretely, such as living things being made up of small parts.  Science explorations include water and weather, the parts of the human body, and identifying characteristics of plants and animals.
