In this stations-based resource on different inventions during the early Industrial Revolution, students learn about the telegraph, the Spinning Jenny, the steamboat, the mechanical reaper, the steel plow, the process of pasteurization, and the steamboat. Students rotate to different stations in the room where they read about one of the major inventions/achievements of the Industrial Revolution and take relevant notes on a bubble map organizer.

Students learn about John Deere's Steel Plow, Cyrus McCormick's Mechanical Reaper, Samuel Morse's Telegraph, Robert Fulton's Clermont steamboat, James Hargreave's Spinning Jenny, and Louis Pasteur's process of pasteurization.
