This Industrial Revolution word search follows work as it moved from the home to the factory: the steam engine, the spinning jenny and the power loom, coal and iron, the railroad and the telegraph, and inventors such as Watt and Whitney.

The change began in Britain in the late 1700s, in cotton. Richard Arkwright's water frame and James Watt's improved steam engine moved spinning out of cottages and into mills. Britain banned the export of textile machines and the emigration of skilled mechanics, so Samuel Slater memorized the designs and sailed to America, where he opened a cotton mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1793.

Eli Whitney's cotton gin of 1793 pulled the seeds from cotton far faster than hands could, which made cotton profitable across the South and spread slavery with it. In Lowell, Massachusetts, mills hired young women from New England farms who lived in company boardinghouses. Robert Fulton's Clermont steamed up the Hudson in 1807, and Samuel Morse sent his first long-distance telegraph message in 1844.
