Industrial Revolution:
From a Scheme of Work on the Industrial Revolution. Target is KS3 but all assessments throughout are GCSE and use Edexcel criteria. Each lesson contains a lesson plan, quick start guide, printable resources, mini plenaries, challenge questions, mark schemes, writing frames, lots of differentiation, a nice mix of activity types and a lesson specific EAL activity sheet. There are 14 lessons in total, but each lesson has enough material to last 2 or 3 lessons for even high ability classes.
Most lessons include some high-level source analysis.
The lessons also include a link to a site hosting a self-marking End of Unit quiz and a revision guide which make for nice homework activities. The SOW has been used for several years (with continual updates and improvements) at a very successful History department in an outstanding school.
If used at KS3 it also acts as a grounding for any History of Medicine modules they might encounter at KS4 (hence the focus on public health and inventions).
The SOW covers the following topics:
- Introduction to the Industrial Revolution (free)
- Population Boom (free)
- Factories
- Coal Mining
- Transport
- Robert Stephenson
- Industrial Revolution inventors
- Child Labour
- Public Health Problems
- Public Health Solutions & Government Intervention
- Source Question on the Big Stink
- Luddites
- British Empire
- Source Question on Empire
- Revision Guide & EAL activities.
Please visit for more SOW and to access the Cardinal’s Corner blog which provides justification and commentary on this SOW and many others. Here you will also find access to the online end of unit test.
Hope it helps.

The politics of the Industrial Revolution - 3 lessons
Three lessons looking at the changing political landscape of Britain during the Industrial Revolution. Public health lesson looks at growing government involvement in spending and law making to tackle the growing crisis. Luddites lesson looks in some depth at the challenge of an organised working class and the emergence of a new rich. Cuffay lesson is a more focussed case study on the leaders of the Chartist movement.
Public Health & The Industrial Revolution - 3 lessons
Three lessons that take you from identifying the problems with PH during the Industrial Revolution to analysing the impact of the solutions and government's intervention. All have been used as observation lessons before (with bespoke differentiation obviously) to great effect. Lesson 11 is a usefulness source based question with a second source as a practice before the real thing - good for fine tuning GCSE source skills regardless of your exam board. They are proving very popular so thought I would bundle them together for people's convenience. Hope it helps.
