Inclined plane may sound like a fancy word, but it's just a ramp! Learn how these simple machines make things easier. How does a dump truck dump all the dirt out of its truck bed? It turns that bed into a ramp! A ramp is another word for an inclined plane, and an inclined plane is one of six simple machines that are designed to make work easier. Lifting, pulling, pushing―all these tasks are more efficient when you use a simple machine. In Inclined Planes Ramp It Up: Simple Machines for Kids, readers ages 5 to 8 learn how inclined planes are sloping surfaces that make it easier to move heavy things from lower ground to higher ground - and vice versa - instead of lifting them. Scientific concepts including friction and mechanical advantage become clear with engaging illustrations and lots of real-life examples that kids can spot in their home, schools, and neighborhoods.
