CLPL Programmes
Macduff Marine Aquarium is pleased to offer a range of professional learning opportunities for teachers and early years practitioners.
Our range of interactive workshops are available throughout the year and can be booked as outreach, to take place at your school, or here at the aquarium. Each 2-hour session is filled with practical, accessible, fun and engaging activities to explore marine science and other STEM subjects with your pupils. The activities are all linked to the learning experiences and outcomes of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. Bespoke programming can be created if there is a topic of interest.
