🔥 Sparks are flying in Textile and Design! 🧵✨
Our HS students put their fiber knowledge to the ultimate heat test in this hands-on fiber identification lab! 🧪✂️
By safely burning fabric samples and activating their senses, students observed flame reactions, burn patterns, and odors to crack the code on natural vs. synthetic fibers. The verdict? They successfully identified cotton, wool, acrylic, polyester, and nylon! đź§ đź’ˇ
Why the burn test? Knowing your fibers is a total game-changer for future projects and ensures students know exactly how different fabrics react to hot irons and design tools. 🔥👕
A huge shoutout goes to Mrs. Weishaar for coordinating this engaging, hands-on activity!
