Throughout the activities within the student booklet, students will investigate past and present food and fibre production techniques, and look at reasons for the progression with these technologies. To enhance and clearly demonstrate students understanding of these concepts, they will also conduct experiments with growing their own food and fibres within the classroom and will select their own materials, equipment, techniques, etc. to complete these activities.
