Links to the story	Key Stage 2 and 3 programmes of study	Possible learning outcomes	Big ideas
The singing trees	the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, including food webs (KS3) observe changes across the 4 seasons (KS2)	Know that organisms survive because of resources in their environment Appreciate that living organisms change their behaviour according to the season.	adventures in space and time organisms are organised

  A simple observation, led to the question, why are the trees singing, and leads to questions and new thinking. Students can be encouraged to make observations, ask questions and think their way towards answers.

  We return to Nowhere Wood to observe the changes that are taking place as the wood prepares for Spring. All science starts with observations.
