• BJOTD:

Objectives

• Students will know:– Cottage industries, the Industrial Revolution, Agricultural

Revolution, and inventions of the IR• Students will understand:

– The needs of an expanding population combined with the factors of production to make England the starting point of the Industrial Revolution.

• Students will be able to:– Experience the shift from cottage industries to factory life– Identify key advancements in the Industrial Revolution– Propose effects of the Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution

Pre-Industrialization

• Cottage Industries: before industrialization, goods were made by hand by individuals, usually from their own homes– SLOW process

Agriculture

• Like in cottage industries, farming was done individually and was slow in creating food.

• BUT there was always a need for more food.

Agricultural Revolution

• An event when farming was made easier and more efficient by the invention of the following products and ideas: – Enclosure Movement (British)• Landowners increased the amount of land they owned

and surrounded them with hedges.

– Crop rotation– The seed drill– Better ways to breed livestock

Enclosure Movement

Seed Drill

Crop Rotation

• As the food supply increased and living conditions improved, the population rapidly increased and there began to be an increased demand for raw materials and goods.

Industrial Revolution

• The greatly increased output of machine-made goods that began in England during the 18th Century– Industrialization: the process of developing the

machine production of goods

Why England? Well…

England had all the right resources…

• 1st: Water power and coal to fuel new machines• 2nd: Iron ore to construct machines• 3rd: Steel—Henry Bessemer invented the process

for making steel• 4th: Cotton textiles were the first important industry• 5th: Rivers and harbors for the transportation of

goods in the country and to other countries• Revolution began in England and spread to the rest

of Europe and the United States

Processing

• Rank the following events in chronological order:– Agricultural Revolution– Increase in population – Cottage industries– Rise of factories

• Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in England? Give three specific reasons why.

Advancements

• 1st: In the Textile Industry– Spinning Jenny created by James Hargreaves– Water Powered Loom– Factories: People moved their looms from inside

their cramped homes and into factories– Cotton Gin: in 1763 Eli Whitney invented the

cotton gin to make the tough process of picking cotton easier• Cotton production soared as a result: 1790-1.5 million

pounds, 1810-85 million pounds

2nd: In Transportation

• Steam Engine: In 1765, James Watt discovered a way to make the steam engine faster while burning less fuel

• Steam Boats: invented by Robert Fulton, made transporting products easier = more $$$

• Better road construction and toll roads• In 1825 the first railroad opened in Britain

Steam Engine: James Watt

Steam Boat: Robert Fulton

Railroad

3rd: Advancements in Science and Medicine

• Smallpox vaccine-1800-Edward Jenner• Louis Pasteur discovered bacteria– Changed policies in hospitals—forced people to

CLEAN instruments and bedding after others used them

Louis Pasteur and Bacteria

Processing

• What effects do you think these advancements/changes will have on life in industrialized countries?

Impact on Industrialized Societies

• 1st: Population increase

• 2nd—Increased standards of living—BUT NOT FOR ALL

• 3rd: Improved transportation

• 4th: Urbanization: many farmers were put out of work by the factories and moved to the cities to find work

• 5th: Environmental pollution

• 6th: Increased education

• 7th: Dissatisfaction of working class with working conditions

• 8th: Growth of Middle Class

• 9th: Increased demand for raw materials, leading

Wrap-Up Activity/Homework

• Create two images—front and back of paper– 1 image of pre-industrialization – 1 image of post-industrialization – Each image needs a paragraph description to

accompany it (see below)

Pre-Industrialization• Image must include (label all parts)– Cottage industries– Less People– Less Education– More Agriculture– Less Pollution– Slower, more expensive products– Agricultural Revolution

• Paragraph should focus on what it was like to live before the Industrial Revolution and why the IR was needed. (6-9 sentences)

Industrialization• Image must include (label all parts)– Britain (waterways, natural resources)– Factories– Increase in population– More education– Cheaper, faster products– Bad working conditions– Better transportation– Medical advancements– New inventions

• Paragraph: Talk about what the Industrial Revolution was, how life changed because of it (both for the good and the bad), and why it was important.
