This great activity is designed to help students understand how various inventions and ideas helped to solve the problems facing coal miners 1750 - 1900.
Students are given five problem cards such as low wages, choke damp, fire damp, flooding and collapsing roofs. They then have to match at least two solutions to each problem.
I've also included an extension exercise to get students to create a key to help them identify which problems came earlier or later in the period.
If you like this resource then you will love my worksheet on coal mining problems which can be used to accompany this card sort. It is available as a joint discounted package.
Kind Regards
Roy
