Industrial Revolution Candy Train Factory!

We learned about the Industrial Revolution and mass production! During the last 1800’s– a variety of products were made in the USA through mass production. Factories used assembly lines to create many products at a fast rate. Factory workers worked on assembling different parts of products at various workstations. As parts were added– the product moved onto the next workstation until it was a completed product. This made it possible for companies to create more products at a faster rate– increasing profits.

We created our own assembly line– creating Candy Trains! Each student had to do a repetitive task on an assembly line to create a candy train. As they worked- they learned what it would have felt like to work in a factory during the Industrial Revolution!
