Fashion and Textiles Teaching Resources
The activities in this collection link the study of textiles and materials with the science programmes of study. They show how textiles can be used in two very practical ways to reduce the danger of severe burns and in medical applications.
The activities are designed for key stage three students and help to develop scientific enquiry and communication skills.
The resources are:
- Fabric Fires
- Medical Compression
Although these resources were created in 2010 as part of the Future Morph project run by the Science Council and the resources date from this time, they are still relevant and useful today.
More details about the current activity of the Science Council can be found on their website, which includes the professional registration award for educators, Chartered Science Teacher (CSciTeach).

They then test and compare a fabric and a cotton wool ball, firstly when untreated and then having first soaked them in a fire...
Medical Compression
In this activity, students investigate the uses of materials and fabrics in medical applications, such as pressure bandages for burns injuries and anti-embolism stockings for deep vein thrombosis. The students make their own pressure sensor using different types of fabric. They then calibrate their sensor and...
