This is the second lesson in a series covering the new Edexcel A-Level History unit: Britain losing and gaining an Empire 1763 - 1914.

This series of lessons covers the second breadth study: The Changing Nature of the Royal Navy

The lesson is ready to teach and includes all resources in the power point. The lessons refer to the textbook "Britain: Losing and gaining and Empire, 1763 - 1914" (Christie, 2016 Pearson) although other textbooks could be used with the lessons.

During the lesson pupils will:
* Compare the design of the HMS Albion (1763) and the HMS Dreadnought (1906) and make inferences about technological advances between them.

* Watch a video to identify the key advances in technology on the HMS Warrior.

* Research specific technological advances and impacts.
* Discuss the statement "Steam power was the most important technology developed/adopted by the British Navy during the 19th century. It allowed Britain to maintain its Naval superiority across the globe.”
