Zoology lesson for local schoolchildren

The University's zoology museum played host to a group of fifty pupils from a local primary school. The visit, which formed part of their curriculum science programme on "life and survival in the animal kingdom", was organised jointly between the children's teacher, Marion Skene from the Life Sciences Teaching Unit, and Zoology Curator Cathy Caudwell.

Cathy said, "The children enjoyed looking at skeletons, comparing the ways that animals move, drawing and searching for unusual species in the museum. Blackness Primary is just one of the local schools which has have recently made use of the zoology museum as part of their school intra and extra-curricular activities."
