We continued our investigation into the different materials and its properties. This week we found out that unlike the fabric silk and wool which are natural materials and come from animals, there are other natural fabrics like cotton and jute that come from plants. We looked at how cotton grows and then is spun into threads which get woven into fabric. We did not have machines but we used our hands to try and spin the cotton into thread. At first the cotton ball was soft and could break and come apart easily. Once it was spun into a thread it become strong and difficult to pull apart. Since it was soft we used it to make clothes. We also found out that we should wear clothes made of cotton in warm countries since it keeps us cool. Sorting the 3D shapes in the class.
