Trivia Quiz of the Industrial Revolution

We are on the Industrial Revolution right now and I have found that sometimes it helps to add some non assessed learning. This site has trivia quizzes that can be used for fun but also covers information that students don't see in textbooks.


The site is called Fun Trivia. There are definitely more uses than just for Industrial Revolution.

How Stuff Works

Hi everyone! I am a new poster here. A little about myself, I am a teacher in Nebraska, but moving to South Dakota. I love using technology in my classroom when it benefits students. I hope you all can take the ideas I post to some good use in your classroom!

How Stuff Works

This site has a lot of great uses for history. The page linked has a video explanation of how the steam engine actually worked during the Industrial Revolution. For students that need to not just hear that a machine was used in history, seeing how it worked could make the difference in determining relevance.
