SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The following programmes have links with the curricula for Standard Grade and Higher Biology.

Marine Invertebrates (Higher Biology) 97% of all animals are invertebrates and in the marine environment there are over 160,00 known species. Learn more about the incredible diversity of marine invertebrates - from the inanimate sponges to the cunning octopus.

Practical Fieldwork - Rocky Shore Ecology (S-Grade or Higher Biology) This programme allows students to explore the rocky shore at low tide, accompanied by Aquarium staff. Students can spend time identifying organisms, surveying the habitat and organisms' distribution before returning to the aquarium to discuss their findings.

SYS Biology Projects Students can carry out individual projects at the Aquarium. Please contact the Education Officer for details.
