Interdisciplinary Connections:
Below is a brief list of possible interdisciplinary connections. The scientific and artistic/ literary connections seem to have the most potential in he schools.
Science:
• Physics:
o Steam power (latent heat)
o Water wheels
o Trains/ boats
• Biology:
o Peppered moth evolution
o Health/ height link (diet),
o Medicine (cotton dust, darkness, sewage, water supply)
o Farming/ breeding techniques
• Geology:
o Britain’s geology
o Coal and iron together
• Chemistry:
o Nitrogen fixation and crop rotation
o Sulfur impurities in coal v. coke
o Difference between iron and steel
Economics:
• Supply v. demand (which played a greater role)
• Machines capital) v. labor (water frame, efficiency)
• Mercantilism v. capitalism
• Luxury goods and industrious/ consumer revolution
• Protectionism v. globalization (tariffs v. free trade)
• Progressive income tax (v. flat tax or consumption taxes)
• Colonialism and slavery
• Capitalism v. Communism
Art & Literature: Romantics, Dickens, Bronte, Wordsworth, Byron, paintings, H.G. Wells’ Time Machine
Math: demographics, productivity calculations (any of Allen’s formulas)
Law: factory acts, patent protections (Facebook v. spinning jenny)
Philosophy: utilitarianism, utopianism, political philosophy, identity formation, class consciousness
