Fabrics and Flammability

We investigated the origins and properties of common fabrics.

We looked at:


  • Cotton - from the cotton pods to cotton thread and fabric
  • Wool - from raw sheeps' wool to felt and woollen cloth
  • Silk - from a silk moth's coccoon to silk fabric
  • Linen - from flax to fabric
  • Man-made fabrics such as nylon


We considered the properties of these fabrics, and tested which were most flammable.
