Investigating key Australian fibre production practices in the cotton, timber and wool sectors

This unit consists of a pdf resource and two supporting videos. It has five inquiry teaching sequences about how fibres are produced, processed and brought to consumers. The unit encourages students to investigate new and existing production practices used to produce cotton, timber and wool products. Students are given an insight into ways primary producers in the cotton or wool sectors and foresters in the wood sector produce; process and bring their products to consumers.
