This is a slideshow for primary students that traces the steps in cotton production and processing from seeds to jeans. The ten slides in the show use photographs and relatively simple text to cover ground preparation for the cotton crop; seed planting; irrigation and the efficient use of water by Australian cotton farmers; integrated pest control; harvesting; separating the fibre from the seeds in the cotton gin; exporting cotton from Australia to Asia; combing and spinning cotton fibre; weaving and sewing cotton textiles, including denim; and cotton's use in jeans.
