We've started our next unit on fabric! Fabric is a technology that is all around us. It can keep us warm, cool, and even dry. It also serves a multitude of purposes including help us clean up a spill or celebrate an important part of our culture.
Every type of fabric has its own set of unique properties and is made in a special process from plants, animals, or oil. Fabric can be slippery, shiny, dull, opaque, transparent, waterproof, absorbent, bumpy, smooth, etc. As we develop different investigative tests, students will discover why engineers design a particular fabric for a purpose.
