Burn tests are one method used to identify fiber content of fabric. Throughout this lesson, students will work in groups to learn about burn tests and conduct a lab where they complete burn tests to identify fibers. This lesson is designed to take one 50-minute class period, but could be drawn out to take two 50-minute class periods. To grade this assignment, I like to use their justifications for why they think it was a certain fiber, instead of just assessing if they selected the right fiber for the sample. Consider teaching the following lessons alongside Burn Tests. Each of these have a textile science focus.

Ice-Dying is a twist on the classic tie-dye of the mid-1960s. In this lab, students will be combining the tie-dyeing techniques with the properties of slow melting ice. As the ice melts, the melted water carries the dye into the fabric, distributing the colors. This is ideally a 3-period lab (52-minute classes). Day 1 consists of instructions, a teacher demo, and planning. Day 2 is when the students get to tie, dye, and prep their designs. Day 3 students get to rinse out their fabric and wash it.

Throughout this project, the students will complete a burrito-style pillowcase. This project will take about five days (50-minute class periods) for students to complete. Everyday, students will begin with setting up their sewing machines and setting goals for the day. Students will follow the written and video instructions to complete the project. At the end of each day, students will reflect upon what they accomplished and what they hope to improve upon for the following day. As there are written and video instructions, students can move through the project at their own pace. This project works well for middle school or as a project to refresh students on how to use the sewing machine and construction terminology in high school. (In my classroom, I give students the choice to complete the PJ Pants or the Pillowcase Project. If they choose to make a pillowcase, I have them make two - one for themself and one for a foster kid.)

Throughout this lesson, the students will learn about the history of weaving and the different types of fabric weaves. This is designed to take one 50-minute class period, but it may take 2 class periods for the students to complete all of their sample weaves.

In this lesson students will be introduced to the six main family structures: nuclear, extended, blended, single parent, foster and adoptive. (I start with these six to match the textbook and then we discuss what family types need to be added to our list later!) Students work in groups to discuss advantages and disadvantages of their assigned family structure. They also generate a list of TV shows and movies that are examples of that family structure. After each group presents to the class, the teacher can lead a discussion about what types of families need to be added to the list. For example: same-sex, childless, etc.
