‘What’s the Matter’ is a learning kit to help pupils learn about materials. This project is my personal project based on the world we create in CFE.

By 2036, microplastic pollution had become a major health concern, with synthetic clothing identified as a key source of indoor airborne particles. Inhaling these non-biodegradable particles poses long-term risks to children’s respiratory health.

As a model school in Scotland, Brinton Primary(a fake primary school) adopted an indoor no-synthetic-fibre policy. Partnering with MatterLab™, the school created the ‘What’s the Matter’ learning kit, featuring material cards, a biodegradability detector, and a “micro monster” detective game to help pupils understand fabrics and make healthier material choices.
