Monday: February 4th • We are making paper airplanes today• Starting Industrial Revolution

• M- Factory Simulation• T- Industrial Revolution Intro• W/TR: Reforms/The Jungle• F: Miss K has a wedding! Video and a sub

Warm Up:• What was your favorite Super Bowl Commercial? • What is your favorite super Bowl food?

• How do you think the super Bowl reflects American society?

Factory Simulation

We are making paper airplanes today!• First make your best paper airplane in the next ten minutes;

do not forget to color it!!!!• I will come around and decide which one like the best• The best airplanes will be rewarded with silver (a Hershey kiss)

Now…• I want you to make a paper airplane to MY standards• These all have to be exactly the same

• If not, no silver, or you may even be fired!• We will do a practice one together

A Glider (A4)A Glider (A4)

Throw just a bit of Force at about a 30 to 40 degree angle toward the sky. The dart, if made correctly should be accurate and travel a long Distance

Instructions to make a Glider

Step1Fold a piece of A4 paper in half longways. Then fold the top corners down as shown.

Step 2 Fold in the sides so that

point A and B meet at the centre crease

Instructions to make a Glider

Step 3Fold Points C and D into the centre as shown above

Step 4Turn the model over and

fold it in half longways

Instructions to make a Glider

Step 5Fold down the wings so that the edge of the wing meets the bottom or fuselage of the plane.

Step 6Now the plane is complete

so have fun flying it. For Throwing suggestions see

the Introduction of the glider .

Now…

• You will be counted off by 6- you will be workers • Everyone else- you will be the

observers/workers on hand. You will write what is happening on a separate sheet of paper.

• Each person will be given a step to do in the ASSEMBLY LINE

• GOAL: get as many airplanes done as you can!!!• Winner gets paid!!!! • Must be the same if not, you risk losing your job

and being FIRED

WORK RULES

1. Do not leave your work station without your overseer's permission.

2. If you are late you will not be paid.3. Workers who produce poor quality work will

be discharged.4. There will be no talking except what is

necessary to run the assembly line.5. Those who fail to obey orders will be punished.

Whoa!!!! What did you think? • Did you enjoy this activity? • What did you like or dislike about it? • What feelings did you experience during this activity? • How did it make you feel to be fired? • How did workers feel about their job on the first picture and

on the assembly line?

• Now: Read about working conditions and complete the T-Chart in your warm-Up.

Vocab activity

Tuesday, February 5th • How important is technology in today’s society? • What would happen if we lost all cell-phones?

• All computers? • All satellites?• All electricity?

• Do you think that you could survive a day in today’s society without technology?

The Industrial Revolution

Ch. 25.1Ch. 25.1

Industrial Revolution• What was it?

• Machines became the new way of doing things.

• Huge increase in machine-made products.

Industrial Revolution

• Before the industrial revolution, people wove textiles (cloth) by hand.

• After, machines did this and other jobs as well.

• Started in England and then spread to Europe and America.

Why did the Industrial Revolution begin in England? 1. Extensive natural

resources2. Expanding

Economy3. Highly developed

banking system4. Political stability5. Had all factors of

production (land, labor, and capital)

Natural ResourcesEngland had extensive natural resources.

1) Water power and coal to fuel the new machines. 2) Iron ore to construct machines, tools, and buildings3) Rivers for inland transportation4) Harbors from which its merchant ships set sail.

Expanding Economy

• The expanding economy promoted growth in business. • Business people invested in the manufacture of new

inventions.

Banking System

• People were encouraged by the availability of bank loans to invest in new machinery and expand their operations.

Political Stability• Parliament passed laws that protected business and helped

expansion.

Factors of Production• Britain had ALL the factors of production.

• Land• Labor• Capital (wealth)

Textile Industry Transforms• Cloth merchants boosted

their profits by speeding up the process by which spinners and weavers made cloth.

Flying Shuttle (1733)• The flying shuttle

speedily carried threads of yarn back and forth when the weaver pulled a handle.

• The flying shuttle doubled the work a weaver could do in a day.

• Invented by John Kay

Spinning Jenny (1764)

• James Hargreaves’ spinning jenny allowed one spinner to work eight threads at a time.

• Named after Hargreaves’ daughter.

Water Frame (1769)

• Used water power from rapid streams to drive spinning wheels.

• Invented by Richard Arkwright.

How was water used for power?• http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/animations/

Spinning Mule (1779)• http://www.bbc.co.uk/

history/interactive/animations/spinning_mill/index_embed.shtml

• Samuel Crompton combined the Spinning Jenny and the Water Frame to produce the Spinning Mule.

• Made thread that was stronger, finer, and more consistent.

Power Loom (1787)• Invented by Edmund

Cartwright. • Run by Water power

Results of new inventions

• All these new inventions took spinning and weaving out of the house.

• Wealthy textile merchants set up machines in large buildings called factories.

• At first, these factories needed water power, so they were built near rivers and streams.

Cotton is King!

England uses American Cotton• England’s cotton came from plantations in the American

South.

The Cotton Gin (1793)

• Removing the seeds from raw cotton by hand was hard work.

• In 1793, American inventor, Eli Whitney designed a machine to help speed the chore.

The Cotton Gin continued• His cotton gin

multiplied the amount of cotton that could be cleaned.

• American cotton production skyrocketed from 1.5 million pounds in 1790 to 85 million pounds in 1810.

Consequently, slavery increased dramatically in the Southern U.S.

Improvements in Transportation• James Watt, a

mathematical instrument maker at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, figured out a way to make the steam engine work faster and more efficiently while burning less fuel.

Robert Fulton’s Steamboat• The Clermont’s first

successful trip was in 1807.

• Ferried passengers up and down New York Hudson’s River.

• Water transportation improved with the creation of a network of canals

• By the mid-1800s, there were 4,250 miles of waterways in England.

Road Transportation• John McAdam, a Scottish engineer equipped roadbeds with a

layer of large stones for drainage. • On top, he placed a carefully smoothed layer of crushed rock. • In rainy weather, heavy wagons could travel over the new

‘Macadam’ roads without sinking in the mud.

Macadam road in Venezuela early 1900s

Macadam roadway, West Virginia

First Road in US to become ‘Macadamized’• Construction began in 1811 and ended in 1838.• Also known as the “National Road”

Mile marker in Columbus, Ohio along National road

National Road

The railroad locomotive• Steam-driven machinery propelled English factories in the late

1700s. • The railroad locomotive drove English industry after 1820.

George Stephenson• George Stephenson built

many steam locomotives for mine operators in northern England.

• In 1821, Stephenson began work on the world’s first railroad line.

• It was to run 27 miles from Yorkshire to Stockton.

• It opened in 1825 with four locomotives that Stephenson built.

George Stephenson and his first locomotive

Railway expansion• Entrepreneurs wanted to

connect Liverpool with Manchester.

• Trials were held to find the best locomotive.

• George Stephenson won with the Rocket.• The Rocket hauled a 13-ton

load at more than 24 miles per hour, which was unheard of at that time.

• The track opened in 1830 and had immediate success.

Railroads revolutionize way of life• 1) Railroads provided a cheap way to transport

materials and finished products. • 2) Railroad boom created hundreds of thousands of

new jobs. • 3) Railroads boosted England’s agricultural and

fishing industries, which could transport their products to distant cities.

• 4) Made travelling easier. People could find jobs in different cities.

• 5) Railroads lured city dwellers to the countryside.
