Science/Technology/Energy Slide 2 OPENER In 22 words exactly
describe Labor in Britain. Slide 3 James Watt Improved Newcomen
steam engine. 1760s Watts steam engine became the mechanical
workhorse of the Industrial Revolution. Transportation and
manufacturing were most improved by the steam engine. Slide 4 Steam
Boat Steam power would revolutionize transportation. Robert Fultons
steam boat the Clermont 1807 Japanese depiction of Commodore Perrys
steamboat. 1853 Slide 5 Eli Whitney Invented the Cotton Gin (1793)
which led to increased cotton production. Increased profits for
plantations in U.S which heavily used slave labor. Cotton=Cash Crop
Slide 6 Henry Bessemer Vastly improved construction by creating a
new method for making steal. His method increased the strength by
removing impurities and also lowered the cost of production. Slide
7 Steel the Foundation for a Modern World Slide 8 The Strength of
Steel Slide 9 Louis Pasteur French Biologist Created the germ
theory of disease. Theory proved that cleanliness helps to prevent
infections. Important in the development of modern scientific
method medicine. Invented first vaccine for rabies. Created
Pasteurization process. His discoveries and inventions in health
would lead to people living longer and healthier. Led to population
growth. Slide 10 Science Changes Our World Slide 11 Thomas Edison
American inventor who created the first practical light bulb,
phonograph and motion picture camera. He was the first inventor to
create an industrial scale research laboratory. Held over a 1,000
U.S patents. Slide 12 A Man of Vision Battery for Electric Car 1880
First talking doll used mini phonograph. 1877 Electric Voting
Machin e 1868 Edisons own genius along with his entrepreneurship
led to many inventions that were commercially and industrially
practical. Slide 13 OPENER What two industries were improved
dramatically by Watts steam engine. Eli Whitneys invention, the
________ ____ Increased ________ production drastically. Henry
Bessemers unique process for improving Iron created ________ which
was much stronger. Louis Pasteur greatly impacted the field of
________. Slide 14 Population Explosion Europes population nearly
doubled between 1750-1850 due to lower death rates and increased
food supply. Cities grew because of decreasing farm land and
increased population. Factories attracted people to cities to find
work. Cities grew faster than basic infrastructure. (roads,
housing, clean water, sewers) This led to crowding, dirt, and
disease. Slide 15 Qui Slide 16 Social Impact Industrialization
would lead to Urbanization: the process of people moving to city
environments which dramatically increased the population and size
of cities. This process occurred rapidly during 1800s due to the
I.R. Slide 17 Industrial Capitalism An economic system based on
manufacturing. New social classes emerged known as the -Industrial
Middle Class who built factories, bought machines and organized
trade and markets. -Industrial Working Class who worked in mills
and factories for 12-16 hours a day six days a week with almost no
breaks. Their work was dangerous and low paying. Women and children
were paid far less than men. Slide 18 Slide 19 Reaction and
Socialism The rapid growth of cities and factories led to terrible
conditions in cities and for factory workers. Reform was needed.
Many reformers felt the Capitalist system was responsible for the
terrible conditions. They advocated socialism: is a system in which
society (government) owns and controls important parts of the
economy. This theory supports the more even distribution of wealth.
Slide 20 Socialism: A Hot Topic in History Slide 21 Robert Owen An
early socialist who felt cooperation could replace competition
(capitalism). In Scotland he took a failing factory town and turned
it into a thriving community where the factory workers shared in
the success and wealth of their production. Owen attempted the same
plan in New Harmony Indiana in the 1820s but failed utterly because
people were not committed to this radical theory and lifestyle.
Slide 22 A Utopian Socialist Slide 23 Workers Unions A less radical
and more practical reaction to poor working conditions was the
creation of unions. Trade/Labor Unions: Workers organized and
banded together to try and improve their working conditions and
pay. Collective bargaining for pay raises and strikes were tools
they used to force employers to accept their demands. By 1914 their
were nearly 4 million workers in British unions. Slide 24 Slide 25
In Summary Summarize the information from the chart. Make sure to
explain the progression from factors to technology and the impact
on society.
