How do trees change across the seasons?

In this activity from Oak National Academy, children observe changes that occur to trees during different seasons. Learners analyse the annual calendar and compare events to the seasons. They then look at each season's observable weather and reflect on how this may affect our calendar events. Lastly, they read about a female scientist.
