Why was it important for scientists and inventors to work toward finding a way to use electricity in the late 1800s?
He’s On the $100 Bill!
Franklin’s Experiment!
• Write YOUR OWN QUESTION!
• For the next 100 years after Franklin’s experiment, inventors/scientists work to use electricity for light!
• Why?– Candles and Lanterns were the only
form of light for the night time, but they weren’t very bright or safe!
• 1879– American inventor Thomas Edison invents a long-lasting and reliable electric light! – Called the incandescent light bulb
• Write YOUR OWN QUESTION!
• By the end of the 1880s,– Edison’s electric stations power a few city
blocks in major US cities.
• By 1930– Mostly everyone in cities has electricity. Only 10% of people in rural/farming areas have electricity
• By 1935, the government makes the Rural Electric Administration and by 1939, 25 % of people in rural towns and farms have electricity!
• Today, almost everyone has electricity! – Electricity is helpful because it lets people
work at night, use more hours of the day, and leads to many other useful and time–saving inventions!
For the Rest of Class…• We will watch a section of a documentary
about Thomas Edison and complete a viewing guide to learn more about Edison!
• Your job?
– Listen closely for the answers to your questions!
– Stay awake! If you drift, you will stand!
– Answer with as much detail as possible!
Yesterday…• We started learning about the use of electricity
during the 1800s and studied the impact of Thomas Edison on the use of electricity!
• Let’s review to refresh your memory!!
• Turn and Talk for 10 seconds about the meaning and jot it down in the space on your notes for the next 10 seconds.

What is this and why doesit matter?
Edison’s Work: What is it
and what does it do?
Edison’s Work: What
is it and what does it
do?
Today…• We will move back in time to the 1750s–1840s.
– What was happening during this time period?• The 1st Industrial Revolution!
• We will also talk about the mini project for this unit • Lastly, we will assess what we learned with an exit
ticket!
Today’s Objective:
• SWBAT assess transportation and other inventions during the Industrial Revolution including how their creation sparked fast technological advancement.
Notes Changes! • Don’t forget! • You are writing your OWN questions
that YOU come up with and that each SLIDE’S Information will answer.
• Be as specific as possible with your question writing!
• Vocabulary: • Industrial– Anything dealing with the processing of raw materials into useful materials or the manufacturing (making/creating) of goods and products.
• Revolution– A change in the way things are done that usually involves quick change and many people.
• Industrial Revolution– Time period in history when many countries were changing the way that they created goods and processed raw materials making it faster, less expensive, and easier!
• Write YOUR OWN QUESTION!
• Flesh it Out! – Before the Industrial Revolution in the 17 and
1800s, how did people get from place to place?• Before the 1st Industrial Revolution: Walk or Take a
Horse! – People had to live close to work to get there in time!
Travel was SLOW!
• 1st Industrial Revolution Transportation: The Steam Locomotive!
– The engine car at the front of a train that pulls the other cars
– Runs on coal, wood, or oil to produce steam power and move the train forward!
• Results?– Movement of people, goods, materials is way faster!

• Write your own question!
• Textiles– Any kind of woven (weaved) cloth or fabric
• Flesh it Out! – Think back to Cycle 1 & 2. How were textiles
made before the Industrial Revolution?
• Before the 1st Industrial Revolution,– Textiles made in cottage industry– family
businesses in their homes. • Problems with Cottage Industry:
– Slow process! Could only weave 1 piece of fabric at a time!
– Expensive textiles! Hand made one at a time means expensive stuff!
• Write your own question!
• Textile Manufacturing Inventions during the 1st Industrial Revolution:
• 1. The Spinning Jenny– Could weave 8 threads at a time instead of 1. Only 1 person turning 1 wheel required
– Improved the speed of textile manufacturing• 2. The Spinning Mule– Water powered spinning Jenny. Water
power is stronger than human power. – Manufacturing textiles is even faster and needs even fewer
workers! • 3. The Power Loom– Steam powered loom with many threads
weaving at once!– Extremely fast textile manufacturing that requires little to no
human workers! • Results?
– Fabrics/cloths can be made faster and become cheaper! – Children are hired to crawl and reach into small spaces in
textile factories which is extremely dangerous! – Machines replace people and workers start riots to try and get
their jobs back!

• Write your own question!
• Agriculture– The study of or action of farming including getting soil ready to plant seeds and/or taking care of animals to provide work on the farm, food, wool, milk, or other products.
• Harvest– The process of picking or collecting the useful part of a plant to sell or use in another way.
• Flesh it Out! – How are plants harvested today?
• Before the 1st Industrial Revolution…– Farmers used hand pushed plows to get soil
ready to plant seeds, and hand reapers to cut down and harvest plants.
• slow process • hard labor for farmers
• Write your own question!
• 1st Industrial Revolution Agricultural Improvements:
• 1. The Seed Drill– Plow pulled by horses that gets soil ready for planting seeds.
– Less labor and faster planting! • 2. The Mechanical Reaper– Pulled by a horse and
cut down or pulled plants to harvest– Faster harvesting and more food!
• Farmers could produce more crops – Food prices decrease – Fewer people go hungry because there is
more to go around! – Trade improves because there are enough
crops to trade!

• Write your Own Question!
• Iron– A hard metal that is strong and often used to build things.
• Steel– A hard metal made from iron and other things used to build things because it is stronger than iron.
• Iron was used to make buildings, railroad tracks, and machines before the 1st Industrial Revolution, but
– Iron is not long–lasting because it rusts and becomes brittle
– Iron isn’t strong enough to build buildings with many floors.
• Most buildings can only be a few floors tall– Takes up more space than tall buildings with
many floors!
• Write your own question!
• During the 1st Industrial Revolution, the Bessemer Process is created
• Bessemer Process is a system for making steel from iron quickly and on a large scale!
– Iron was made into steel before, but it was a slow process making steel extremely expensive!
• Results?– More steel meant that it was less expensive for
businesses to buy a lot of! – Buildings were built with many floors instead of 2
or 3. – New Railroad tracks were laid across the country
making train travel and movement of goods much faster!
