Lessons, worksheets and units of work for teaching the Industrial Revolution to your students
The 18th and 19th centuries saw an Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom. This boom in industry, technology and productivity changed the face of the British landscape and transformed centuries-old social order with the rise of a wealthy new middle class. As a consequence of these changes, and the rapid scale of industrialisation in towns and cities, there became a greater need for social reform as poor health and sanitary conditions were exposed.
So whether you're looking in depth at Industrial Revolution inventions or focusing more on the poor conditions these large scale factories often brought with them, we've drawn together a selection of lessons, activities and supporting materials you could use with your KS3 History students.
