Fabric

Fabric, a material so often taken for granted, makes a fascinating study for early childhood students. In the Fabric module students are introduced to a wide variety of fabrics in a systematic way, so that they become familiar with fabrics’ properties, discover what happens when they are tested, and discover how they interact with other materials, including water.

• Develop a growing curiosity and interest in the physical world around them.
• Observe and describe the properties of different fabrics.
• Compare different fabrics to discover how they are alike and how they are different.
• Observe interactions of fabric with water and other substances.
• Communicate observations.
• Acquire the vocabulary associated with the properties of fabric.
