Industrial Britain 1745-1901 KS3

Industrial Britain 1745–1901 KS3 is a five-mission history activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Key Stage 3 (Year 8): the Industrial Revolution and its impact on Britain. Pupils discover how Britain changed from farming and countryside to factories and cities; how James Watt improved the steam engine to power the new machines; the factory system and mass production; urbanisation and the growth of towns; harsh living and working conditions and child labour in factories and mines; the reforms of the Factory Acts; the railways and George Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’ of 1829; the growing British Empire; and the Victorian era, when Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901. Knowledge questions are auto-marked on screen, while historian-style source analysis, a then-and-now comparison and a home evidence hunt build reasoning and extended writing. The whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
