Look back at the maps…• When do you think the biggest growth in London
occurred?• What do you think could explain this?• What effect would the growing number of people
have had on the wealth of the country? Why?• What does this expansion (possibly) tell us about
the birth rate, dearth rate and NI/ND of the time?
• Any other factors to consider?

Industrial Revolution. What is it?Why do we need to study it?
• The modern world was created by the Industrial Revolution.• It transformed human society forever – and continues to do so.• The big questions facing politicians NOW can only be answered by
studying what happened THEN:– What do we gain by industrialisation? What do we lose? What are the dangers?
What are the benefits?• How it began…
– First Industrial Revolution (1750-1850) = steam, factories, trains and towns• How it developed…
– Second industrial Revolution (1850-1900) = electricity, sound, film and cars• How it continues today…
– 1900-1950 - spread to other countries (USA, Germany, France)– 1950-now – spreading across the globe (Japan, China, Russia, India)– 1970-now – a new nuclear / technological revolution (global!)
• We cannot understand the world we live in today and where it’s heading without studying how we got here!

How will we study it?
• Causes – individuals – Role Play > balloon debate, computer simulation
• Causes – other factors– Display work > Connecting the factors
• Consequences – The impact on life in Britain– - Decision making games, cultural representation,
sources– Looking to the present – the 21st century industrial
revolution. Research and presentation.
