Analyse the properties of synthetic fibres and relate it to their use.
Team Synergy : Building Collaboration and Creativity
Activity 1- Hands on activity : To compare and contrast different fibres in terms of tensile strength, permeability and absorbency.
Activity 2: The Journey from Farm to Closet
Imagine you're in charge of designing a new line of clothing for a fashion company. Your task is to choose the best fibres for your clothing items. Prepare a short presentation to share your fibre selection along with the point for justification.
Activity 3: LEGO Synthetic Fibre Factory
