Bell Ringer 12-15-08 Come in Quietly Copy down today’s Objective (same) and tonight’s homework (teach you parents what you learned, have them sign your agenda) Copy—Now and answer—after the video the following question in your social studies binder Explain what life was like for factory workers in America during the “Industrial Revolution.” You will have 5 minutes to do this after the video.
3
Inventions and Technology in the “Industrial Revolution” Standard 7-3.5
4
Goal What was the new technology of the Industrial Revolution?
5
Terms to Know Steam Engine Coal Flying Shuttle Spinning Jenny Cotton Gin Interchangeable Parts Mass Production Railroad Telegraph Telephone Electric Light Bulb
6
Steam Engine Inventor: James Watt (Scotland) Date: 1769 Purpose: The steam engine was a new invention that powered machines The steam engine is considered one of the most important inventions of the Industrial Revolution. It helped to replace manpower (physical labor), wind power (windmills), and water power (water wheels).
8
Coal Steam Engines depended on coal to burn as fuel. Positive Effect: This need for coal to fuel Steam Engines led to a huge growth in the coal industry in Europe resulting in many new jobs Negative Effect: Pollution
9
Flying Shuttle Inventor: John Kay (Great Britain) Date: 1753 Purpose: The flying shuttle made weaving cloth faster The Flying Shuttle was a new way of processing cotton
11
Spinning Jenny Inventor: James Hargreaves (Great Britain) Date: 1760’s Purpose: The Spinning Jenny could spin up to sixteen threads at one time instead of just one
12
Old Spinners New Spinning Jenny
13
Cotton Gin Inventor: Eli Whitney (United States) Date: 1793 Purpose: The cotton gin removed seeds from cotton used to make thread The Cotton Gin cleaned cotton more than 50 times faster than a single person could.
17
Interchangeable Parts “Machine made parts that are exactly alike” Before Interchangeable Parts—a broken machine might take weeks to fix while someone makes the part specially designed to fit that machine. After Interchangeable Parts—repairing a broken machine was easy. Take out the broken piece replace it with the exact same piece that was mass produced in a factory. Example: Changing a flat tire
20
Mass Production “The manufacturing of huge quantities of identical goods quickly and at cheap prices” Mass Production often times involved the use of an Assembly Line –“Workers would put a single piece on an unfinished product as it passed by on a moving belt” Example: Textile Mill mass producing cloth Example: Assembly Line
21
Question What was one of the big items mass produced at this time? Hint, Hint—Henry... made them
24
Railroad Date: 1804 Britain ran the worlds first steam powered locomotive. This gave rise to the Railroad Industry. Effects of the Railroad –Easier and faster to transport raw materials to— Factories Public –People could travel more
25
A great historical event in transportation on the continent occurred in Utah, on May 10, 1869, as the Union Pacific tracks joined those of the Central Pacific Railroad.
26
Telegraph Inventor: Samuel Morse Date: 1837 Purpose: To carry an electric code (dots and dashes) at high speeds through wires over long distances to communicate with others
27
Samuel Morse's original telegraph transmitter and receiver. The transmitter, in front, had code slugs shaped in hills and valleys. These represented the more familiar dots and dashes of Morse code.
28
Telephone Inventor: Alexander Graham Bell Date: 1876 Purpose: To carry someone's voice at high speeds through wires (today wireless) over long distances to communicate with others
29
Alexander Graham Bell's first telephone Voice sounds were transmitted for the first time on June 3, 1875, over this gallows- shaped instrument. Bell's first telephone patent issued in 1876.
30
Electric Light Bulb Inventor: Thomas Edison Date: 1879 Purpose: Allowed safer lighting of homes, factories, and streets into the dark hours of the day and night
32
