I’m pleased to announce the release of Insects in the Classroom!

This collection of insect information and activities is the only one of its kind written specifically for the New Zealand classroom. Special features include:

• Background information about insects and their relatives
• Instructions on how to care for live insects in the classroom
• A dozen buggy classroom activities
• Student-friendly identification guides designed for the New Zealand school yard
• Insect-themed colouring sheets and worksheets

The book is released in conjunction with a new outreach programme for schools–Bugs and Books–that uses science as the inspiration for writing.
