This lesson resource has been designed to help students studying the changes to the iron and steel industry 1700 - 1850. It can be used with the full spectrum of ability, but the text level would better suit middle to upper ability students. If you like this resource, I have also produced a PowerPoint and a card sort, which provide additional differentiation. These can be purchased separately or as a package under the same title .
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a three page worksheet. This beautifully illustrated resource includes an introduction, which explains why there was an increased demand for iron and steel in this period. The rest of the worksheet looks in turn at the introduction of each new method and explains why it was invented and the impact that it had on the iron and steel industry. Each section is beautifully illustrated with images that can be easily photocopied in either colour or black and white.
The activity section includes eight questions. The first question can be used as a starter. The second question tries to get students to explain the link between the population increase, the Industrial Revolution and the demand for more iron. The third and fourth questions makes the link between the shortage of charcoal and the need for a new method. Question five is a table summary exercise, which focuses on each of the methods of production. Whilst questions six is designed to get students to study a source and draw conclusions to explain the importance of the iron and steel industry to Britain's Industrial Revolution. The final questions look at the historical importance of Abraham Darby's Ironbridge.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: Why did Britain have an industrial revolution 1750 - 1900?
