  1. Textiles Technology

  2. Design Brief A large textile manufacturer wishes to manufacture more environmentally friendly products and is looking at the use of renewable textiles. These are ‘Textiles made from crops, and other sources that can be regrown’. YOUR TASK is to present information to the manufacturer about renewable textiles to help them to make a decision about what to use in the manufacture of their products.

  3. Starter – Where materials come from. Activity – Play the renewable game. Plenary - Class discussion. What is meant by the term ‘renewable’ ? Lesson 1 Learning Objectives 1. Develop an enquiring mind. 2. Considerations when choosing products. Learning Outcomes • Name the materials used to • make products. • 2. Definition/understanding of the • terms renewable. • 3. Explanation of the decisions • made in the game. Key words: renewable

  4. What are these products made out of?

  5. What are these products made out of?

  6. What are these products made out of?

  7. What do these products have in common?

  8. What are these products made out of?

  9. Hemp Bamboo Trees Oil Nettles Cotton Minerals Renewable Materials in Textiles. What are they? ‘Textiles made from non-food crops’ Which of the following are renewable materials?

  10. Lesson 2 Starter – What am I? quiz. Activity – Carry out research into renewable textiles. Plenary - Class discussion. Students to report back their findings. Learning Objectives 1. Carry out research into renewable textiles. Learning Outcomes • Knowledge about renewable textiles.-bamboo, nettles, hemp, flax, Ingeo, modal, cotton, Lyocell. • Report back findings to the rest of the class. Key words: Hemp, Flax, Lyocell, Ingeo, Modal

  11. What am I? • I can grow a metre a day • I am used in Chinese medicine to treat infection • I am often used to make furniture for the conservatory • I am used for scaffolding • I can grow in many different climates • I am eaten by pandas BAMBOO

  12. Research questions - www.nnfcc.co.uk • How is the fibre produced? i.e. what do they do to the material to make it into a fibre? • What properties does the fibre have? Is it strong, absorbent, warm, soft, rough, crease easily or elastic, washable, durable? • Where can we buy it from? • How much does it cost per metre? Note You will be investigating the environmental aspects later

  13. Lesson 3 Starter – What is the meaning of the term ‘sustainable development’ ? Activity – Carry out research into the environmental impact of renewable textiles. Plenary - Class discussion. Students to report back their findings. Learning Objectives 1. Carry out research into the environmental impact of renewable textiles. Learning Outcomes • Understanding of the terms • sustainable development, fair • trade, biodegradable. • 2. Report on the environmental impact of a renewable textile. Key words: environmentally friendly, bio-degradable, sustainable development

  14. What is meant by the term Sustainable Development? "Sustainable development will enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and enjoy a better quality of life, without compromising the quality of life of future generations.”

  15. Environmentally friendly Something that does not harm the environment. Renewable Something that can be renewed or replaced. Biodegradable Has the ability to break down, safely and relatively quickly, by biological means, into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment.

  16. Lesson 4 Starter – Stand up bingo with descriptive words. Activity –Carry out tests on and fibres and fabrics to establish their properties. Plenary - Which fabric is the strongest,most absorbent, warmest etc.? Learning Objectives Investigate the properties of a range of fabrics and fibres. Learning Outcomes • Use of descriptive words. • Completed table showing the properties of different fibres. • Explanation of tests that are carried out on fibres and fabrics. Key words: durable, absorbent, fibre

  17. Analysis of the results of the testing of fibres Cost: high, medium, low Key: 5=good performance 1=poor performance

  18. Lesson 5 Starter – Decide what properties are needed for products to function. Activity –Develop ideas for using the renewable material. Plenary - Class discussion. Students to report back their findings. Learning Objectives 1. Develop creative and innovative ways of using the renewable fabric. Learning Outcomes 1. Annotated design ideas. 2. Creativity and explanation of designs based on knowledge and research. Key words: function

  19. What properties do these fabric need?

  20. Renewable Textiles Nettles Wood pulp cellulose used forLyocell Corn used in Ingeo Bamboo Flax Hemp Beech trees used for Modal Cotton

  21. Starter – What techniques are used to promote products? Activity –In groups develop a presentation in any form (poster, PowerPoint, discussion) to promote a renewable textile to the manufacturer. Plenary - Class discussion. Students to present their work. Lesson 6/7 Learning Objectives 1. Use your knowledge and research to promote your renewable textile to the manufacturer. Learning Outcomes • Informative presentation about a renewable textile.
