Educational science animation " Cotton " : Cotton is derived from Gossypium. Cotton is cellulose fiber. Chemically Cotton is cellulose polymer made up glucose molecules. Structurally cotton fiber has fibril and microfibrils and cellulose that give it various physical properties. This K8 –K12 animated chemistry topic gives in-depth information about cotton and is very useful for teachers and students both.

Content of the science animation
: In our daily life cotton is mostly used as clothing
and as a decorative fabric. Cotton fibers are the seed hairs
of the plant Gossypium. Cotton is cellulose fiber. Cotton
consists typically of 88-96% cellulose. A single molecule
of cellulose consists of chain of millions of glucose molecules.
Cellulose is natural polymer (C6H10O5)n. It is a polysaccharide.
Glucose is a chemical compound in which C (carbon), H (hydrogen),
and O (oxygen) are bounded together by covalent bonds (chemical
bond).
All about it inside the animation.
