A complete KS3 History lesson on the Industrial Revolution (1750–1900), exploring the key question: Why were there winners and losers in the Industrial Revolution?

This engaging lesson introduces students to the dramatic social and technological changes of the period through activities that develop historical enquiry and analytical skills. Students investigate how inventions such as the steam engine, railways, and factories transformed Britain, and consider who benefitted from progress and who experienced decline.

Use this lesson at KS3 to introduce the Industrial Revolution topic and to encourage students to think about winners and losers in history. It works as a standalone enquiry or as the first lesson in a wider Industrial Revolution scheme of work.
