Diapers | How is it made? #9 | Design | Technology | STEM

Diapers are not the cleanest or most fun product to consider how they are made, but they are truly very important and for several years of everyones lives, they are critical to our health and well-being. Most parents use diapers and this large and global market is one it is worth learning about.

This How is it made? article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire design and production thinking. I am very proud of this series of how is it made? articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of design, production and the manufacturing process. Each how is it made? article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable). Two images also to inspire students and get them interested in the subject topic.
