Welcome to an exciting journey through time! Are you ready to explore the past? Today, we’re going to learn all about the Industrial Revolution.
Emily and Jay were feeling bored. Their dad was a famous scientist who always worked in his lab and never let them in. But one day, they decided to sneak inside. To their surprise, they found a strange machine with lots of buttons. Their dad had mentioned a new invention—a machine that could take them back in time!
Without thinking, Emily and Jay stepped into the time machine. Jay accidentally pulled a lever, and suddenly, the machine started talking.
“Hello, children! I’m Timezor. Why did you turn me on? Now you must travel with me through time. We’re heading to London during the Industrial Revolution. Hold on tight!”
When they arrived, the city was filled with smoke and noise. Emily and Jay decided to ask some kids if there was a park nearby.
“Hi! What’s your name?”
“Aren’t you going to school today?”
“Hello, my name’s George. My parents work at the factory, and I’m a scientist’s helper. Look at this machine—it’s called the telegraph. It’s used to send messages.”
In 1837, a man named Morse invented the telegraph in Boston. This invention allowed people to communicate over long distances using a special code. It was so useful that it spread to the United Kingdom too!
“George, can you show us around the city? We can ride in a carriage or take a train. I want to see London, the Thames River, and Big Ben.”
During this time, most people in London traveled by horse-drawn carriages, while others walked. When cars were invented, carriages almost disappeared from cities. The Industrial Revolution also brought steam engines, which made it easier to move people and goods. Trains and steamships used these engines to travel on land and water.
“Look, that’s Charles Barry, Big Ben’s architect! Big Ben is a very tall tower. I want to study and be like him when I grow up.”
Big Ben is the name most people use for the Great Bell Clock Tower at the English Parliament in London. It was designed by Charles Barry and completed in 1858. The clock is famous for keeping very accurate time.
“All aboard!”

[Music] Welcome to a trip through time! Are you ready to travel to the past? Today, we’re going to learn about the Industrial Revolution.
Emily and Jay were bored. Their dad was a famous scientist who worked in his lab and never let them in. But one day, the children ignored him and snuck in. There was a strange machine with many buttons in the room, and they were surprised to see it. Their dad had told them about a new invention—a machine they could use to travel back in time.
Emily and Jay walked into the time machine without thinking. Jay accidentally hit a lever, and the machine started to talk.
“Hello, children! I’m Timezor. Why did you turn me on? Now you must travel with me through time. We’re traveling to London at the height of the Industrial Revolution. Hang on tight!”
“This city is filled with smoke, and it’s so noisy! Let’s go ask those kids if there’s a park nearby.”
“Hi! What’s your name?”
“You’re not going to school today?”
“Hello, my name’s George. My parents work at the factory, and I’m a scientist’s helper. Look at this machine—it’s called the telegraph. It’s used to send messages.”

In 1837, Morse invented the telegraph in Boston. This invention allowed people many miles apart to communicate using a code, and its use extended to the United Kingdom.
“George, can you show us around the city? We can go on a carriage or on a train. I want to visit London, the Thames River, and Big Ben.”
For many people, the main means of transportation at this time in London were horse-drawn carriages, while everyone else walked. When cars were invented, carriages practically disappeared from cities. The first steam engines appeared during the Industrial Revolution, making it easier to transport people and goods. They were used on land with trains and on water with steamships.
“Look, that’s Charles Barry, Big Ben’s architect! Big Ben is a very tall tower. I want to study and be like him when I grow up.”
Big Ben is the name most people know for the Great Bell Clock Tower at the English Parliament in London. It was designed by Charles Barry and finished in 1858. The clock is famous for its precision.
