There is also an opportunity to teach your preschooler
about science, as you point out what makes each season different and how these changes affect all living things — for example, in the fall trees lose their leaves, many
animals begin to
hibernate, the weather gets colder, the sun isn't out for as long.
A
hibernating mama bear's heart rate can spike and wake her if you come within
about 50 feet of her den, according to engineer Timothy Laske, who has outfitted the
animals with radio - transmitting collars to monitor their vital signs.
