Full lesson, designed for use with KS3 students to look into how working conditions improved during the Industrial Revolution.

Begins by looking at the New Lanark Mills, exploring how this area differed to other mills around the country, and its subsequent influence in other regions. This is accompanied with a colour-coding task, asking students to categorise improvements to ‘life’, ‘education’, and ‘work’ at New Lanark.

This is followed by a living graph activity following the various 19th century acts passed to improve factory conditions.

Finally, students are asked to complete a primary-source based task, reading through three of the reports produced by factory inspectors following the implementation of the 1833 Factory Act. Each source is accompanied by 2-3 questions to try and help students evaluate how effective the act actually was.

Includes lesson PowerPoint, two task worksheets and an information sheet. All can be edited to adjust lesson if desired.
