1. Industrial Revolution

2. Industrial Revolution
Farms Factories
Agriculture Industries
Making goods by hand to producing goods with machines

3. Invention- creation of something new that fits a need
Invention- creation of something new that fits a need. Inventor- someone who creates something new.

4. What are some characteristics of an inventor?
Inventors are…

5. Which of the following was a characteristic of the Industrial Revolution?
Goods were being made in factories instead of homes.
Many people moved away from the cities to farms.
The U.S. was mostly a nation of farmers.
Workers produced fewer goods.

6. Technology- new ideas about how to do something and the equipment to do it.
Transportation System-
(Ex: transcontinental railroad) shipped raw materials to factories for workers to make products and then ship them throughout the country

7. INVENTIONS

8. Telegraph
Telegraph operators sent signals using a device that interrupted the flow of electric current along a wire. They used shorter or longer bursts of currents with spaces in between to represent letters of the message. The message sent was called a telegram.

10. Samuel Morse
American inventor named Samuel Morse experimented with sending messages along iron wires; the telegraph.
Morse invented a code system, Morse code, which dots and dashes represented the alphabet.
This allowed the railroads to send messages to warn engineers of dangers and to advise people of late train arrivals.
It carried news in minutes to all parts of the country.
For the first time news traveled faster than people.

11. “Tap it out in Morse Code!”
Try it yourself!!!
Using the Morse Code, can you write your name?
Try writing this week’s word wall words!
Now, for a real challenge!! Can you write me a message? Tell me something you’ve learned today by writing a message in Morse Code!

12. Inventor Trading Cards
Samuel Morse
Invented the telegraph to send messages along wires.
Created the Morse Code.
For the first time, news traveled faster than people!

13. Telephone
The telephone is an instrument that sends and receives voice messages by means of electric current.
In seconds, you can communicate with the person across the street, across the country, or in another continent.
Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876.

15. Alexander Graham Bell Birth date: March 3, 1847
Birth place: Edinburgh, Scotland
Education: Specialized in the anatomy of vocal apparatus at University College in London
Death: August 2, 1922
Some Inventions: Telephone, tetrahedronal kites
Bell obtained a patent in 1876 for the principle of transmitting speech through electric wires. The telephone was of such great importance that Bell’s name is associated with it.

16. Alexander Graham Bell’s idea for the “talking telegraph” led to what important invention?
Phonograph
Radio
Telephone
typewriter

17. No one lived in rural areas. The phone lines could not reach that far.
Why did Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone company supply service to many cities but few rural areas in the 1890s?
No one lived in rural areas.
The phone lines could not reach that far.
It cost too much to supply telephone service to rural areas.
People in rural areas did not need to use the telephone.

18. Light Bulb
Electric light is a device that uses electric energy to produce visible light.
Until electric light became common in the early 1900’s, people could see at night only with candles, fires, gaslights, or oil lamps.
Thomas Edison invented the incandescent filament that is inside light bulb.

20. Thomas Edison Thomas Alva Edison Birth date: February 11, 1847
Birth place: Milan, Ohio
Education: Limited formal education; taught by mother and self-taught
Death: October 18, 1931
Some Inventions: incandescent filament for the light bulb, phonograph, kinetoscope (first practical motion picture device that used a roll of film), storage batteries,
Edison was a bright and curious boy. His experiences led him to his interest in electricity and invention. He invented the phonograph, the movie camera, and the microphone. His most important invention was the light bulb. Electricity flowed through a filament, a thin piece of carbon, inside a glass. It became hot and glowed with white light. It took Edison many attempts and a few explosions to finally invent this incandescent light bulb.

21. Machinery and mass production used in factories caused the prices of products to .
Decrease
Increase
Stay the same
Change based on demand

22. What is Mass Production?
Making a lot of something in a short amount of time.
Henry Ford mass produced his automobile, the Model T, by building it on an assembly line.

23. Henry Ford
Did NOT invent the automobile, but used the assembly line to increase productivity.
Each person on the assembly line repeats the same step over and over again as a product moves down the assembly line.
When it comes off, the product is completely built.

24. What are the benefits of using the assembly line?
+ Make more products
+ Price for the consumer goes down
+ More buyers
+ More money for the company
+ Pay employees more

25. Mass production- making A LOT of something at the SAME TIME!
(new methods of mass production were used to turn the raw materials into consumer products)

29. Wright Brother Facts Orville and Wilbur grew up in Dayton, Ohio
Experimented with a flying machine for several years before their motorized airplane flew for 12 seconds
The first flight took place at Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17, 1903.

30. paper planes the “Wright” way
Think of paper plane designs in your head.
Keep in mind…
Which design will make the plane go the furthest?
Which design will I have time to make?
Which design can I do using only one sheet of paper and one piece of tape?

31. Become a Wright brother!
On a scrap piece of paper, take 3 minutes to sketch your design and how you are going to go about making it.
Then, take 5 minutes to make your paper plane.
Don’t share your thoughts or your sketches with anyone, you want your ideas to be unique!!

32. What was one challenge the Wright brothers faced in building their flying machine?
They knew very little about flying.
Their parents discouraged them.
Wilbur was afraid to fly.
Their motor was too lightweight.

33. During the Industrial Revolution, who built a new mode of transportation that would change how people traveled around the world?
Alexander Graham Bell
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
Wright Brothers

34. Which of the following promoted the early 1900s Industrial Revolution?
Light bulbs and telephones
Television and radios
Cotton gin and railroads
Computers and the internet

35. Andrew Carnegie
Bessemer Process-a process used to convert iron to steel. (named after Henry Bessemer)
His company, Carnegie Steel, built huge steel foundries and created a monopoly on the production of steel.
Steel is used in sky
scrapers, ships, and
the railroad.

36. John D. Rockefeller Created a monopoly in the oil industry.
Rockefeller’s company, Standard Oil, refined oil and turned it into other useful products (kerosene, gasoline, motor oil).
Built refinery in Ohio, then used the profits to buy other refineries.
He eventually gained control of the nation’s oil industry.

37. “You never fail until you stop trying.” Albert Einstein
“I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Thomas Edison

38. What idea contributed to the success of mass production?
Plantations
Assembly line
Strikes
refrigeration

39. Resources-p.181 Human-people who work to produce goods and services
Natural-things found in nature that people can use (iron, coal, oil)
Capital-tools and the machines that companies use to produce goods and services.
