Pupils can demonstrate their understanding of the effects of the Industrial Revolution with this UKS2 What Was the Industrial Revolution? Worksheet. To engage a range of learners, there are three ways this worksheet can be used and these are indicated in the footer of the resource. Children can sort occupations based on whether they benefitted from the changes, explain some of the differences in experiences and rank which people in society had the hardest time working in factories.

The resource is a great way to see if pupils understand the historical concept of similarity and difference. It links to the the second lesson of a six-lesson block and compliments the UKS2 What Was the Industrial Revolution? PowerPoint.
