Students will learn how many natural resources it takes to produce clothing through an experiment that simulates different textile and dye manufacturing processes. They will also do a project to explore how much energy goes into creating clothing and analyze data to assess clothing production and manufacturing's environmental impacts.

Lesson Objective: Students will explore different forms of fashion through hands-on creation by examining the relationship between how fashion creates longevity, finances, and the production of today's clothing. Students will explain the energy use and environmental impact of clothing manufacturing based on how much textiles and dyes it takes to create one piece of clothing.
Suggested Teaching Time: 40-50 min
NGSS Standards: 5-ESS3-1, 3-5-ETS1-3
