2. #9 Factory Work (1.56)

4. Steam Engine: New Energy #10 Steam Power (1.19) #10 Steam Power (1.19)

5. 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

8. Iron and Coal: Energy for the Industrial Revolution

9. The Need for Iron and Coal:  Farm tools, factory machines, railways, powers steam engines, used to smelt iron—makes pureEffect: combined  Britain produced more iron than all of other countries of world combined

11. Transportation

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

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

14. Two New Inventions

15. Steel Steel—Henry Bessemer developed steel by adding carbon to hot iron— much stronger & lighter than iron Interchangeable Parts Interchangeable Parts—Henry Ford developed identical parts to his automobiles that could be easily built on assembly line & easily replaced #7 Interchangeable Parts (1.48) #7 Interchangeable Parts (1.48)

17. Why did Britain lead the Industrial Revolution?
