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.

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.

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.
