This article focuses on a sequence of learning experiences designed to raise children's awareness about weaving using yarn, which is one aspect of fibre and production technologies. The technologies context of the fibre production allows children to learn about the chemistry concepts related to the materials. An explicit focus on the properties and methods of joining and manipulating fibres is required for the science to be appreciated. This learning sequence incorporates weaving to help young children learn about the use of animals and plants in fibre production. Designed for Years 1-2, some Year 4 biology (life cycles) and physics (contact forces) concepts are also touched on.
