Discussion on the above question 8. Objectives and HW Explanation HW: Illustration of Industry

Industrial Revolution- increased output of machine goods in the 18 th century (1700s) Starts with the Agriculture Revolution

Agricultural Revolution Wealthy landowners enclosed land, and used new seeding and harvesting methods. 1.Landowners experimented with new methods. 2.Forced small farmers to become tenant farmers, or move to cities.

Crop Rotation Biggest development of “revolution” Planted crops in rotation to keep nutrients in the soil. –Wheat- takes nutrients –Turnips- restores nutrients. Livestock, only allow best animals to breed, and better animals result.

Industrialization Needs!!! Natural Resources –Coal, Water, Iron Political Stability –Parliament passed laws to protect businesses, aid in expansion. Economic Strength –Businessmen invested in new ventures –Banking system, loans given to start businesses. Factors of Production

Inventions Land, Labor, and Wealth are all factors of production. Inventions made work more efficient in the factories.

Textiles Water Frame –Uses rivers to drive spinning wheels. Spinning Jenny –James Hargreaves, a spinner could work eight threads at once. = Spinning Mule Created by Samuel Crompton, 1779, led to better thread. Factory system develops to house machinery.

Textiles and Innovation Steam Engine –Created by James Watt in –Allowed factories to move away from the river. Cotton needed in textile mills, Eli Whitney made production efficient with “cotton gin”

Transportation Road –Construction methods improved to allow for drainage. –John McAdam created the method of large rocks and crushed stone. Water –Robert Fulton created the steamboat in 1807

Railroads Steam driven car on rails… Steam engines could haul heavy loads. Liverpool-Manchester railroad allows for increased travel and efficient shipping of industrial goods.

What do you see here? In the nineteenth century the Northumbrians show the world what can be done with iron and coal by William Bell Scott Wallington, Northumbria. Courtesy Wallington, the National Trust.

Technology? Good or bad? Explain your opinion regarding the following issue: Is technology is a good or bad development and why? –Give examples of today i.e. cell phones, laptops, weaponry, anthrax, nuclear energy/weapons…
