Lesson 5

1.30-2.30

History:  History: To understand why coal and iron were so important for the Industrial Revolution.

Much of the machinery and buildings needed by the industrial revolution (trains, railway bridges, steam engines) were built out of iron. A new process for producing strong, cheap iron was perfected by a man called Abraham Darby during the 1700s, called the blast furnace. Steam engines and blast furnaces also needed a huge amount of coal, so coal mining became a very important industry.

Study an animated diagram: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/interactive/animations/blast_furnace/index_embed.shtml  of a blast furnace to understand how it worked, and why it needed both coal, and rotary motion (provided by water or a steam engine).

Why was coal needed during the industrial revolution? How was coal mined?

A lot of factory conditions were not suitable for young children. Use the following links to research into what life was actually like working in an early factory, particularly the high levels of heat, noise and danger.

Independent task: Write the pros and cons of working in a factory as a child.

Then, write a diary account of life as a child working in a factory. See the example provided to help you.

We would love to read some of your diary accounts. Please share them with us!
