Plant Fiber -
Cotton and Wool
Sponsored by California Women for Agriculture
At this station, children learn about cotton production, the cotton gin and how California
grows and harvests cotton. Colorful pictures help tell the story, and everyone gets to
experience the feel and texture of cotton by pulling apart a cotton boll.
What do sheep and humans have in common? We happen to wear the same clothes.Here, students
will see how wool is cleaned, spun and woven into the fibers that make the clothing we
wear. We demonstrate how to rid a sheep of its woolen jacket by shearing an animal. Wool
spinners will exhibit their skills by spinning and weaving wool, cotton and other natural
fibers.
