The year 2020 saw the first introduction of a CORONA virus (COVID 19) to the whole world. Communities and school children were

affected by the COVID 19 virus. The school children did not attend school for a long period. Upon school re openings, all the school
children were required to wear facial masks. Some of these children are in Technology classes that you teach. As a teacher, your
strategy is that each school child should be able to make and wear a facial mask. This is possible since this activity is taught under
one of the themes of the Technology curriculum as PROCESSING. Which of the following material is less suitable for the face mask?

1 answer

The less suitable materials for making a face mask among the options provided would be:

O a. Plastic
O b. Glass
O c. Cotton
© d. None of the above

The most unsuitable materials in this context are a. Plastic and b. Glass. These materials do not provide the proper filtration or comfort needed for a face mask. Cotton is a suitable material as it is breathable and can provide a level of filtration. Therefore, if you choose one, you might specifically select b. Glass as the least suitable option for face masks.
