This is my presentation on the Industrial Revolution, which was probably obvious.

1. The Industrial Revolution
By: Harley Giles

2. Beginning
✤ The Industrial Revolution was a time of advancement in the areas of
manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, mining and technology. It
began in Britain during the early 18th century, and ended in the 19th
century. Almost every country participated in this.

3. Migration
✤ “Urbanization is the physical growth of urban areas due to global
change.” - Wikipedia
✤ The cottage industry is an industry of many manufacturers who work
part time.
✤ There was a migration of people from rural areas to urban areas
during the Industrial Revolution.
✤ People relocated to find work.

4. Agricultural Revolution
✤ This led to the Industrial Revolution because there was a lack of
instruments needed to harvest crops.
✤ Crop rotation is planting different crops in the same areas in different
seasons.

5. Textiles
✤ These are the materials that really made the Industrial Revolution
BOOM.
✤ Textiles are woven materials made up of a network of fibers.
✤ Some inventions that helped to develop textiles popularity were
knitting, weaving, etc.
✤ Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin.

6. Steam Engine
✤ A heating device that uses steam primarily as it’s source of energy.
✤ Thomas Savery invented it in 1690, and James Watt is said to have
improved it.
✤ It was important because it created a reusable water supply.

7. Bessemer Process
✤ First industrial way to produce steel from pig iron.
✤ Henry Bessemer invented it.
✤ It’s important because steel could now be produced in a cost-effective,
safe way.

8. Pasteurization
✤ Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist who invented
a way of freezing food.
✤ Pasteurization is important because without it, our food would go
bad and we would lose money.

9. Thomas Edison
✤ He invented the phonograph, motion-picture camera, and of course,
the light bulb.
✤ He had 1,093 patents.
✤ “Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of
utility, and utility is success.” - Thomas Edison

10. Romanticism
✤ It was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement during the 18th
century.
✤ It gained strength from the Industrial Revolution.
✤ Two romantic authors were Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
