The Industrial Revolution

Between 1750 and 1900 Brain underwent a huge change. This has become known as the Industrial Revolution. The changes brought about during this period impacted all parts of day-to-day life and has been seen as one of the most important periods in British history. In Learning Challenge we have been researching what exactly these changes were and what caused them. Please comment on what you believe to be the most significant part of this period or just leave links to useful sites for other students to visit.

The Industrial Revolution is very complicated but very easy if you put the effort into understanding it I think its very interesting when Iwas in year 6 I read a book about a girl working for a mill on one side and if you fliped the book around you'd read about a posh mill owners son whitch was so fasinating.

I think raw materials was the most important because you needed them for steam power and to make other things too.
