Lesson Idea | Farming Changes from the 1800s to 1900s
The “Farming Changes from the 1800s to 1900s” lesson plan explores how American agriculture evolved during the 19th and early 20th centuries—covering the shift from hand tools to mechanized equipment, the impact of new technologies and farming practices on rural life, and the broader social and economic effects of these transformations. Designed for 4th-grade social studies students, it’s structured as a one‑hour class session, complete with activities and assessments to help younger learners grasp how farm life and agricultural methods have changed over time.
