Enriching school visits
The Science Learning Hub teamed up with Dunedin’s New Zealand Marine Studies Centre to develop a series of marine topic planners. The topic planners offer suggested pathways through some of the Hub’s marine resources and connect to relevant programmes offered by the Centre. The topic planners are useful for classes going on any marine-themed field trip.

The topic planners can be used to create your own personalised teaching unit and can be used in any combination or order.
They can also be used to help plan pre/post-activities if your class is going on a marine-themed field trip.
