Engineering Solutions: Hair Science
This resource will enable students to learn how Dyson engineers apply science and engineering to understand all things hair. This includes different hair types, knowing what makes hair healthy, what causes it to become damaged, as well as understanding that hair can reflect our identity, personality and beliefs.
This resource has been designed to complement the Science, Design and Technology and Mathematics curriculums at Key Stages 3 and 4.
