Essential Question What new technologies contributed to the Industrial Revolution?

What effect did machines have? Machines, combined with new production ideas… revolutionized… changed … the lives of people around the globe

Where was the first change? It began with changes in the textile industry JOHN KAY invented his FLYING SHUTTLE This sped up the weaving process

What inventions paved the way? Other inventions that changed textile production… Spinning Jenny Water FrameSteam Engine Power Loom Cotton Gin

What other ideas emerged? The use of machines increased the demand for iron and coal As the iron making industry peaked, inventors worked on ways to turn iron into steel

Who was Henry Bessemer? BESSEMER PROCESS Blasting air through molten iron results in steel HENRY BESSEMER This process lowered steel making costs from $200 a ton to $4 a ton

Why was the steam engine important? Also, the invention of the STEAM ENGINE allowed factories to be built anywhere Steam engines relied on coal for power, not water

How did transportation change? Industry still needed ways to transport raw materials to factories and goods to markets… STEAMBOATSRAILROADS These were simple combinations of combining steam power with new methods of iron and steel production

What was mass production? While machines were increasing the output of goods… Two concepts would lead to the MASS PRODUCTION of goods Making large amounts of the same product Results in cheaper prices

What led to mass production? Those two concepts were: INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS and DIVISON OF LABOR

How did the creation of parts change? INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS Using machines to create parts that are exactly alike Parts made by hand are never the same --- each part differs in some small way The idea of interchangeable parts makes it easier to:  Fit parts together  Fix parts when they break

How was labor made easier? DIVISON OF LABOR Instead of having each worker creating a product after product from start to finish… Workers began to SPECIALIZE doing one specific task

How did assembly lines work? HENRY FORD This method is typically known as an ASSEMBLY LINE used ASSEMBLY LINES in the early 1900s to build low-cost automobiles

What was the new power source? Throughout the late 1800s and 1900s, many discoveries kept industry moving Some of the biggest discoveries involved electricity

What new inventions appeared? SAMUEL MORSE used electricity to invent the TELEGRAPH 1830 ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL used electricity to invent the TELEPHONE 1876 GUGLIELMO MARCONI used electricity to invent the WIRELESS TELEGRAPH (radio) 1896

How else was electric used? Electricity could be used for more than communication… 1879 THOMAS EDISON invented the electric LIGHT BULB 1882 The first central power station appears Soon, electric generators will run factories and power machines
