My new book Gastronauts is out now in bookstores and online.
I’ve pulled together a bunch of free resources for teachers (and interested kids). You can find the full set on my website, but here’s some of my highlights:
Teaching Notes
Heaps of ideas for discussion and links to curriculum.
Download the teaching notes (pdf).
Read a free sample
Read the first 16 pages before you buy the book.
Also great for using to read the start of the book to a class.

‘Make Your Own see-through body’ activity
This is a super fun activity. You need scissors, glue, string and a piece of A3 coloured card – and a print out of the worksheet for each student. (And don’t forget to print the teacher cheat-sheet for you.)
You’ll end up with something that looks like this:
Download worksheet (3 pages, pdf)
Download teacher cheat-sheet (pdf)

Kids can learn to name and locate various parts of the body.
