5 According to these documents, how did the steam engine promote the growth of the factory<br />

system?<br />

Score of 1:<br />

States the way that the steam engine promoted the growth of the factory system<br />

Examples: it powered the machines in the mills; it provided power; steam-powered machines<br />

were too big for the home; steam-powered machines could do the work faster <strong>and</strong>/or<br />

more efficiently; steam engines could power multiple machines at one time; using<br />

coal for the engines meant factories did not have to be located near streams<br />

Score of 0:<br />

Incorrect response<br />

Examples: James Watt improved the steam engine; water was pumped from mines; factories<br />

needed to be located near streams<br />

Vague response that does not answer the question<br />

Examples: it was improved; James Watt; power loom weaving; machines were all in one place<br />
