Title: Assembly Line Production in the Classroom!
Description: Have your students ever professed the desire to experience the Industrial Revolution firsthand? Show them what they're missing! This activity lets your students take their place at the assembly line and pump out stacks of paper products in competition with their individual worker peers. They will also research how interchangeable parts affects the production process, learn about the advantages and disadvantages of assembly line production over traditional methods, and even do a little bit of math to learn about the rate of worker productivity and diminishing returns! 
Key Words: industrial revolution, interchangeable parts, technology history, manufacturing, factory, 19th century, workers 
Grade Level: 6th, 7th, 8th 
Subject: Math, Social Studies/History, Technology

Teacher's Request: I need an activity that demonstrates the importance of one or some of the inventions from the Industrial Revolution. A hands-on class activity would be wonderful.
