Industrial Revolution Webquest

Industrial Revolution Web quest
The Industrial Revolution was a time of dramatic change, from hand tools and handmade items, to products which were mass produced by machines. Workers became more productive. Since more items were manufactured, prices dropped, making exclusive and hard to make items available to the poor and not only the rich and elite. Life generally improved, but the Industrial Revolution also proved harmful. Pollution increased, working conditions were harmful, and factory owners employed women and young children, making them work long and hard hours. The Industrial Revolution was a time for change, for better or worse.

This WebQuest is dedicated to the Industrial Revolution, the changes that occurred, and how it effected modern life. 
This WebQuest demonstrates the transition from hand tools to machines and shows the pros and cons of the revolution.
