Primary School Resources
Bring the Curriculum for Excellence to life with the help of our incredible collections! Our digital resources offer the following learning opportunities:
Digital Birthplace Cottage Tour
This resource has been produced to replace an in-person class visit to the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum. Working through the provided class Power Point will take around one hour but there are a number of suggested activities provided in these notes, which can be used to build on the learning in the Power Point.
Topics supported: Andrew Carnegie, Old Dunfermline, Weaving and The Victorians. The resource has a focus on learning from objects.
Dunfermline Then, Now and in the Future Resource Pack
This resource has been designed as a follow-up to our Birthplace Cottage Tour digital resource, although it can be used independently. It looks at the differences between Victorian Dunfermline and Dunfermline today.
Topics supported: Old Dunfermline and our local area. The resource has a focus on learning from maps, photos and artifacts.
Andrew Carnegie: Legacy Expansion Pack
This resource has been designed as a follow-up to our Birthplace Cottage Tour digital resource, although it can be used independently.
Topics supported: Carnegie’s Dunfermline legacy, Carnegie’s legacy around the world, Become a philanthropist.
