1. Innovations of the Industrial Revolution
Warm Up:
What was life like in England before the Industrial Revolution?
What was the Agricultural Revolution? How did it impact the Industrial Revolution?
What was the first industry to begin to industrialize?

3. Steam Engine: New Energy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESfSG2OlQYQ

4. Steam Engine: New Energy
Need for Energy:
Early factories relied on horses, water; Needed more power
Effects of Steam Engine:
Steam engine invented by James Watt; made production faster and more efficient
Improved mining which was used to fuel other industries

7. Iron and Coal: Energy for the Industrial Revolution

8. Iron and Coal: Energy for the Industrial Revolution
The Need for Iron and Coal:
Farm tools, factory machines, railways, powers steam engines, used to smelt iron—makes pure
Effect:
Britain produced more iron than all of other countries of world combined

10. Transportation

11. Transportation The Need for Better Transportation:
Pre-Industrial transportation relied on horses, mules, dirt roads
Factory owners want to move goods quickly & cheaply to increased profits
Innovations:
Stone, asphalt roads
Canals—man-made rivers
Railroad—first built in 1829

12. Transportation Effects of Railroads:
Expanded rapidly throughout Britain
Cheaper transportation increased production & profits in factories
RR increased other industries: coal, steam engines, iron, steel

13. Two New Inventions

14. Two New Inventions
Steel—Henry Bessemer developed steel by adding carbon to hot iron—much stronger & lighter than iron
Interchangeable Parts—Henry Ford developed identical parts to his automobiles that could be easily built on assembly line & easily replaced

15. Why did Britain lead the Industrial Revolution?

16. Why did Britain lead the Industrial Revolution?
Geography:
Climate good for textile production
Plenty of natural resources (iron, coal)
Separation from European continent kept them out of wars
Government:
Encouraged international trade
Helped build canals and roads

17. Why did Britain lead the Industrial Revolution?
Colonial Empire:
Colonies supplied raw materials for manufactured goods
Colonies provided markets for finished goods to be sold

18. Why did Britain lead the Industrial Revolution?
Advantages of Industrializing First:
No other countries were competing for manufactured goods
Had a monopoly on new technology
Huge profits!!

19. Begin group-work activity: Examine 11 innovators during the Industrial Revolution.
Each team will research 2 innovators and create a placard.
When finished tape placard up around the room.
Use matrix to find out information about other innovators
