Steam Power: Revolutionizing Farming and Industrial Production

1. DO NOW Draw a picture of the old way of farming and then the new crop rotation and identify 2 effects of the more efficient rotation farming plan. Use as few words as possible. You may use your notes and other binder information.

2. Powering The Industrial Revolution Steam, Factories, and Coal

3. REVIEW • Cottage Industry • Crop Rotation • More Food=More Babies=More Food= More Babies=need more clothes • Need new machines that can make clothes even faster

4. Think~Pair~Share • With a partner read the essay about life without technology and computers • Discuss the questions at the end How would your life be different without technology or a computer? Would your life be harder, easier, etc…? Predict how you think Steam power changed the lives of everyday people?

5. What is Steam

6. Why is steam important? • Powered the Industrial Revolution • Steam is what allowed the new inventions to work • A revolution is a change is the space … • Much quicker and more reliable than making products by man or beast power (cottage industry and before) • Much more reliable than wind or river/stream power

7. So… How does Steam Power a Machine? • Steam is created by heating up water (duh…right?) • The steam created in a large boiler (a HUGE pot) is pushed into an engine. The hot air flows into one side and then into another side, pushing a piece of the machine • …lets look at an image.

8. Steam Power… From Water Steam  Power

10. Savery Engine--The Miner’s Friend • 1698, Thomas Savery • The first real attempt at industrial use of steam power • generated about one horsepower (hp) • used in numerous water works and tried in a few mines (hence its "brand name", The miner's Friend) • was not a success since it was prone to boiler explosions(!)

11. Newcomen Steam Engine • 1712, Thomas Newcomen • Engine was placed on the surface and used to drain deep, previously unworkable mines • Produced about 5 hp • Used A LOT of coal (and thus were not as practical farther away from coal mines), but next to the coal mine they were very effective at helping to open up a large amount of mining space • Reliable and easy to maintain • video

13. Re-telling With a partner you will read aloud one section at a time • Person 1 will read first. • When they are done reading partner 2 will summarize what has been read while partner 1 writes it in the correct box. Partner 1 will tell partner 2 any important details they forgot and add this to the summary. • Partner 2 will then read the next section. • When partner 2 is done reading partner 1 will summarize what has been read while partner 2 writes it in the correct box. Partner 2 will tell partner 1 any important details they forgot and add this to the summary. • Both partners will work together to answer the questions at the end of the sheets

14. Watt Engine • 1765– James Watt • Used mostly for pumping water out of mines • Able to replace a team of 500 horses that had been used to pump out the mine. • In the next fifty years only a few small changes were made to the basic engine

15. Watts Engine

17. Think • Lets review the pictures of the steam engines • Write 2-3 observations about the steam engines we just learned about • What inferences can you make about why the steam engine ended the Cottage Industry?

18. Write 2-3 observations about the steam engines we just learned about • What inferences can you make about why the steam engine ended the Cottage Industry?

19. Write 2-3 observations about the steam engines we just learned about • What inferences can you make about why the steam engine ended the Cottage Industry?

20. Write 2-3 observations about the steam engines we just learned about • What inferences can you make about why the steam engine ended the Cottage Industry?

21. Think: Write • Write down 2-3 observations • Infer: Why do you think the development of the steam engine lead to the end of the Cottage Industry?

22. Pair Tell your elbow partner your observations and inferences Why do you think the development of the steam engine lead to the end of the Cottage Industry? Be ready to tell the class what your partner said.

23. Share

24. The Factory Equation Steam engines were HUGE!! Steam engines were EXPENSIVE!!! = The development of Factories!!!

25. Check In !! • Hold up 1 finger SILENTLY for True • Hold up 2 fingers SILENTLY for False • Steam was less efficient than man/beast power. • Steam power engines powered the Industrial Revolution. • James Watts created a horse powered engine • Factories were only developed because people wanted to see their friends at work and were tired of never leaving their cottages.

26. In The Congo

27. Homework • Develop an advertisement about one of the steam engines you learned about today. • Follow the rubric.
