The Nature Station Starter Kit includes a Hub and one Bird Node. The Hub provides central processing and lifetime Morning Dashboard access, while the Bird Node brings acoustic evidence from your school grounds into the system. You can also buy the Hub separately and choose your Nodes individually.

Nature Station turns observations from your school grounds into starting points for learning. The Morning Dashboard presents a discovery, its supporting evidence and three suggested learning opportunities. Teachers choose the direction, helping pupils ask questions, investigate and develop their own explanations.

Discoveries can support learning across science, mathematics, English, computing, engineering, geography, history, art, music and languages. One observation could inspire a scientific investigation, a graph, a piece of descriptive writing or a creative activity.

Yes. Every classroom can explore the same discovery through the Morning Dashboard, with teachers adapting the questions and activities to their pupils. Younger children might begin by describing what they notice, while older pupils examine the evidence in greater depth.

The Morning Dashboard provides conversation starters and suggested activities, giving teachers a starting point without having to plan an investigation from scratch. Teachers can choose how far to explore each discovery and how it fits into their lessons.
