Full lesson, designed for use with KS3 students to look into how new forms of transport developed during the Industrial Revolution. Begins with a starter task, asking students to guess how long it would take to get from Manchester to London using various means of transport (modern day). Students are then asked to think about which method they would prefer to use and why. This starts them thinking about pros and cons of different types of transport (e.g., cost, speed etc…) This is then compared to how long this journey would take in the 1800s using the three main different forms of transport the lesson is focused on: roads, canal and railway. This is followed by teacher input, introducing them to what transport was like pre-revolution, and explaining how and why the road system developed during the 1800s. Students’ first task is then to complete a mini series of annotated diagrams to show how roads improved at different stages. They will then be given some information on the development of canals and railways, along with some maps to be shown on the board to display the extensive-ness of these networks in Britain. Students can then be asked to highlight ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of each form of transport on their information sheet, to be discussed as a class afterwards. The final slide includes links to three BBC videos on each form of transport, to be used as necessary depending on time remaining. Includes lesson PowerPoint, two task worksheets and an information sheet. All can be edited to adjust lesson if desired.

Full lesson, designed for use with KS3 students to introduce them to some of the key inventions made in Britain during the period of the Industrial Revolution. The lesson introduces them to six key inventions: the Steam Engine, the Locomotive (steam trains), the Water Frame, Tarmac, the Bessemer Converter and the Seed Drill. It begins by prompting students to think about which of these they may have heard of before and to discuss in pairs what they think each one might do judging by the name of it. They will then be given a worksheet (included) which gives them a diagram of each invention, and a short sentence describing what each one does for them to try and match up. This should be followed by a quick discussion explaining why / how each invention was significant. Finally, students will be given an information sheet with a short summary of each invention’s history and how it was significant. They will use this information to ‘rank’ each invention by significance (in their own opinion), cutting and sticking a small image of each one onto their ranking sheet and writing a short explanation of their decision/thought process in the explanation box next to each diagram. Includes lesson PowerPoint, two task worksheets and an information sheet. All can be edited to adjust lesson if desired.

The Industrial Revolution The aim of this aim is to assess why coal became known as ‘black gold’. Students learn how important coal was to the Industrial Revolution and how it was used in a number of areas. However the interesting facts focus on its extraction and yet again the dangers involved for all concerned, especially children. Students have to rate how effective the various measures put in place were to overcome some of the problems They also have to tackle some historical hexagonals to get them thinking and linking all the information together. A find and fix plenary should test their recall and knowledge from the lesson. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.

Student are then to consider the significance of each invention and in what way they sped up the Industrial Revolution. The lesson offers an opportunity for group work when exploring the different inventions and the inventors developed during the 18th Century. Youtube video links have been offered under each handout slide if you choose to create QR codes linked to the URLs so that students can view each invention working. Exam technique is also practiced in this lesson in the format of a 4 mark question.

Powerpoint and worksheet all about living conditions in the Industrial revolution, this lesson includes various tasks for students and an extended writing task with a writing frame all provided on the powerpoint.

This PowerPoint and lesson is designed to contextualise the Industrial Revolution, and set the scene for the changes it brought about. It outlines what life was like in England in the early 1700’s before the Industrial Revolution. It spends some time examining how the lower classes lived and worked at this time. We look at how some new inventions started to change life for these people, and how towns and cities rapidly grew alongside canals and railways. Children are shown how these changes had both positive and negative impacts and brought about vast contrasts for people living in the countryside and those in the cities. Challenge the children to predict the impact of the changes through a series of carefully structured prompts. Finally we look at the impact on social class the Industrial Revolution had, and how a new class – the middle class – sprang up as a result. A great lesson to set the scene before tackling the Industrial Revolution in more detail.

This KS3 unit should take around two hours + one homework to complete. The Power Point leads students through all activities with all accompanying resources included.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ON THIS RESOURCE - ESPECIALLY IF YOU DOWNLOAD IT. This is a lesson that I used to introduce the Industrial Revolution. It is a very general lesson to get the students used to the idea that 1750 and 1900 looked and felt very different, hence the diary entry activity. This P/Point has borrowed from another that I downloaded from these very pages, although I have added features.

Lesson asks students to decide which jobs were the worst to do and to compare them with modern day worst jobs. Gross jobs, engrossed students.
