Step 1: Setting Up

Now before class starts make a shirt like the one below also take perhaps 100 or 150 sheets of printer paper and cut them in half . This will comeback in the future

First split the class up into three groups . 2 groups should have 11 student and the third group with the rest of the students. The 2 groups will be two companies Company A and Company B.

Now once all the two groups are set up; its time to set up the desk. make two sets of desk both being 2 by 5 desk.

Seat the students down in both companies. The two standing will be the owners. The ones in the company and that are sitting are the workers. The others that aren't in a company are in the unemployment line.

if the instructions were to confusing on how to set up the room attached is a diagram of how it should look.

Step 2: Start

when the students walk into the class give them all a half sheet of printer paper. once all the students have paper show them the picture of the shirt and tell them to draw it.

Here is where the shirt comes in. Show each group the shirt and assign them sections its best if each group have their own copy. What ever number the student was assigned is the number they have to draw of the shirt. the superviser walks around supervising.

before we begin give each group a stack of half cut sheets of paper at the beginning of the assembly line and give each student a crayon so that they can draw the shirt.

Now its time to begin. On your command, both of the assembly lines should start going as quickly as they can drawing their assigned part of the shirt. The finished shirts should come out of the other end. you being the teacher and owner must keep track of both the beginning and the end of the assembly lines of both companies. when looking at the beginning of the assembly line make sure they have enough paper if nit refill. after a 2-3 minutes or until you feel the papers at the out end are enough Stop the assembly line and look at the shirts. Fire 2-3 students and replace them with students in the unemployment line. repeat all of these steps 2 more times. once its done repeating stop the assembly line and count the number of shirts each group has. who ever has the most shirts wins per say.

When you finished counting say this

" Company __ (winning company) has made the most shirts. because of this (winning company) now has an oversupply of shirts. because (winning company) has an oversupply of shirts (winning company) can sell its shirts for a cheaper price. because (winning company) is selling shirts at a cheaper price nno one is buying from (losing company). for this reason (losing company) is going out of buisness. But (winning company) does not want the other company to go he just want to steal its company. so the owners make a deal. (winning company) pays the owner of the other company and the 2 companies merge."

Now take all the workers from the losing company and move them to the winning company but Dont move the desk. make the students share chairs. start the assembly line again. after a while stop it and make this announcement.

"you are now making twice as many shirts, but why do you need two owners " fire one owner and then ask the workers" now how are the working conditions, are in a tight space" and of course their answer is yes

That is the end of the project

Step 3: Things to Be Learned

first with the unemployment line it shows how desperate people are to find work.

when you fire a worker and replace them this shows how the jobs need no skill and that they are incredibly easy to do

when the companies combine your showing a monopoly and merging

when the workers share seats your showing the bad conditions within the factory and the tight spaces workers must work in.

this also shows how much faster it is to create new product with an assembly line.

This video is all about the creation of the steam engine.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What Is a Steam Engine?

A steam engine uses heat and steam to create mechanical power. There have been many different types of steam engines throughout history; some use wood and others use coal to generate the necessary steam. Most steam engines work by heating water in a chamber, which creates or holds steam. The pressure of the steam can then be directed through pipes and valves to generate mechanical power.

Steam engines have been applied to a wide range of uses. The first steam engines were simple pumps used to remove water from mineshafts. After some improvements, more efficient and powerful steam engines were being used to power trains, ships, and entire factories.

Invention and Early History

The invention and refinement of steam engines played a central role in the development of the Industrial Revolution during the late 1700s and early 1800s in England, Europe, and North America. The Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid innovation in industry, transportation, and technology that was fueled largely by coal and steam power. Many of the advances made during the Industrial Revolution were thanks to the steam engine. But how did steam engines first come into use?

The earliest versions of steam engines were used to pump water from coalmines in England. A pump driven by a steam engine sat on top of a mineshaft and burned the readily available coal to generate the power needed to remove water from deep in the shaft. Thomas Newcomen invented the first successful engine in 1712 in England, which greatly increasing mining production. However, Newcomen's engine was inefficient and could only be used near coalmines, where coal was abundant and cheap enough to run the engine. It was soon realized that, if steam engines were to have wider uses, they needed to be improved.

The next major advancement in steam engines came in 1765 when James Watt introduced a refined steam engine that was more powerful and more efficient than the earlier engines used for pumping. The most important innovation introduced by Watt was that his engine used a piston to drive a wheel rather than a pump. Such a design opened the door for the Industrial Revolution since steam engines could now be used in a wide range of applications. By the early 1800s, steam engines had been further refined by other inventors and were small enough and efficient enough to power trains, boats, and entire factories.

Steam Engines and Transportation

When talking about the Industrial Revolution, there probably isn't a better symbol of industrial and technological progress than the steam train. The first steam-powered trains were rather slow and inefficient and were only used to transport things like coal and iron between mines and factories. The first of these steam trains did not appear until 1804 in Wales. However, by 1825, the first public railway line was opened in England, and it was soon carrying both industrial cargo and passengers. Not long thereafter, rail networks spread out and connected most of the major industrial and population centers of England and Northwestern Europe. Trains had a tremendous impact in improving industrial output and accelerating the Industrial Revolution, since trains could transport large and heavy cargos over great distances at minimal cost.

November is National Aviation History Month. During the first week of November, I taught my daycare children all about aviation and it's different forms. We learned that the first form of man-made flying objects were kites. We also learned about hot air balloons, airplanes, and helicopters. Here are some great Aviation Preschool Ideas to help you teach your little ones all about aviation!

Aviation Preschool Ideas - Worksheets

While searching for Aviation Preschool Ideas on the internet, I was thrilled when I came across the Our Little Monkeys Blog! Our Little Monkeys is written by Dawn, a former second grade teacher who is now a stay at home mom of three little ones. Dawn uses her blog as a way to document her family's daily activities and special events, as well as her home school activities. Our Little Monkeys provides hundreds of different themed printables and ideas. From now on, Our Little Monkeys will be one of the first sites I visit when looking for new ideas for my daycare kids! All of the worksheets in this post were downloaded from Our Little Monkeys' Little Pilots Tot Pack.

The first set of worksheets we did were letters A and F, and counting. My daycare children are working their way through the alphabet and we are currently on letter F, so these sheets were perfect for us. The kids traced letter A for airplane and letter F for fly. We then counted the pilots, airplanes, and stars and circled the correct number.

In the worksheet on the left, the kids had to find and circle the picture that was different from all the rest. On the worksheet to the right, the kids had to count and color the number of objects stated in the sentences.

This next set of worksheets required the children to do some matching. On the left, the children needed to match the same sized objects and on the right, they had to match the pictures to their shadows.

Aviation Preschool Ideas - Games

The kids all loved this spin and graph game, which was also found on the Our Little Monkeys Blog. They had to roll the dice and place a sticker in the correct object's box until one of the objects was rolled 10 times. We then talked about the graph and answered the corresponding questions together.

Aviation Preschool Ideas - Crafts

For our first craft we made clothespin airplanes. All you need to make one of these adorable airplanes is a clothespin, paint, craft popsicle sticks (I used colored foam ones) and some glue. Have your child paint their clothespin their favorite color. Once the paint dries, glue on the popsicle sticks as pictured. It's as easy as that. The children loved flying around the room with their new airplanes!

For our second craft, I drew a hot air balloon onto a piece of white construction paper. I then cut out different shapes and had the children glue them onto the matching shapes in the balloon. These came out so cute and the kids loved putting them together!

Aviation Preschool Ideas - Books

Three of the books we incorporated into our Aviation theme were Amazing Airplanes, I am Amelia Earhart, and Flying! The Curious Kids Book About Airplanes, Aviation, and Space Travel.

I hope you find these Aviation Preschool Ideas helpful! A special thank you goes out to Dawn from Our Little Monkeys for putting together the amazing worksheets I included in this post!
