1. BELLWORK: 2/20
READ “Great Britain leads the way” on pgs and answer the following questions:
What did farmers in Great Britain do during the Industrial Revolution?
What is capital?
What raw materials did Great Britain have? Why were these important?
What happened to farming once machinery was introduced?
THINKER: What is the difference between a rural and urban area?

2. Industrial Revolution
Industrial Revolution ( ): shift towards industrialism using machines, factories, mines, and railroads.
Why was this a revolution?
Manufacturing and Industry replaced agriculture as the main source of economic growth.

3. Industrial Revolution
Started in Great Britain and spread throughout Europe, North America, and the World.
Why Great Britain?
Access to materials: Steel, iron, and coal were central to new industry (water = steam!)
Access to capital (economically stable)
Access to people (population boomed; labor force available)

6. Living Conditions during the Industrial Revolution
The working class lived in crowded apartment buildings called tenements
Overwork, poor sanitation, and inadequate diet = spread of disease
Cities were full of prostitution, crime, and alcohol
Increased immigration = overpopulation

10. Living Conditions: Immigration
With working conditions so bad, why do you think immigrants still chose to come to America?

11. Living Conditions: Immigration
Like many Americans, immigrants felt cities were a new source of opportunity.
Between 1880 and 1920 about 25 million immigrants entered the U.S. – about half of the total population!
Most immigrants lived in cities, worked “undesirable” jobs and were paid lower than Americans.

12. Living Conditions: Immigration
Most European immigrants entered the U.S. through Ellis Island.
Before 1890: Northern and Western Europe (England, Ireland, Germany)
Between : Southern and Eastern Europe (Italy, Poland, Russia)

25. Inventions of the Industrial Revolution
To learn about the important inventions during the Industrial Revolution, you will read pages and complete the graphic organizer.
This is homework! Due block 2!

26. BELLWORK: BLOCK 2 List three problems that existed within urban areas.
How did the transcontinental railroad impact the Industrial Revolution?
Describe two advances made to communication during the Industrial Revolution
How did electricity impact society?
THINKER: Based on what you know about living conditions, make a prediction  what were working conditions like in the factories? Why?

27. Transportation and Communication
The Industrial Revolution was also characterized by advances in transportation and communication.
Transcontinental Railroad: U.S. railroad running from the east to west coast
The increase in railroads allowed goods to be shipped faster and cheaper.
Telegraph: Samuel Morse perfected it using a system called Morse Code
Telephone: Alexander Graham Bell; by 1900 (30 years after its invention), 1.5 million telephones were in use.

35. Working Conditions Laborers Worked in factories, mills, and mines
worked at least 60 hours a week for an average pay of about 20 cents an hour, and had no benefits

38. Working Conditions: Child Labor
Children received no education, instead they worked in factories. Why?

43. Environmental Problems
With the race for industrialization, many countries began to exploit their natural resources (especially coal, oil, and gas) all with little regard to the environment.
Air
Water
Land

44. Environmental Problems - Air
Coal was needed to power the steam engines that would run machines and trains, but coal also released huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.
The combination of smoke and fog produced smog, which was visible as a thick blanket over cities.
This caused thousands of deaths due to respiratory diseases.

49. Environmental Problems - Water
Water was another prime resource used for running machines in factories.
Factories dumped toxic industrial waste into nearby rivers.
Due to dense populations, the cities had no proper system of sewage disposal, so rivers were also contaminated for personal use.
During the Industrial Revolution, there was no running water – everything came from rivers; therefore, the contaminated, toxic, filthy, sewage water was also used as drinking water.
This caused water-borne diseases like cholera or typhoid fever to wipe out a huge portion of the population. (Especially the working class).

51. Environmental Problems - Land
With large amounts of populations moving to the cities for work, land was being exploited to build homes or more factories.
This meant cutting down forest areas and loss of natural habitats.
Many factories used empty space as land fills for their trash and toxic waste.
This lead to a spread of disease

56. Pollution and Industrialization
Pollution remains a side effect of industrialization.
We are going to read a short excerpt on the growth of industrial cities and how it creates pollution.
“An Industrial City” – pg. 381
How did Manchester become an industrial city?
What type of industry did Manchester rely on?
What happened to the Irwell River?
Do you think that what happened to Manchester can be called “progress?”
How do cities today compare/contrast with cities of the 1800’s?

57. BELLWORK: February 27th
