Bowen 747 & Mr. Lee’s Industrial Revolution Quiz

The purpose of this Legacy project is to provide future students with online practice on the Industrial Revolution. These two foreign-born students decided to create online quizzes for the often-dreaded Industrial Revolution unit. They used their history textbook and an online test making program to create the project. There are a few spelling and grammatical errors. Nonetheless, these two guys have left behind a quality practice tool for future students.
