What do staircases, dump truck beds, and ramps have in common? All of
them are inclined planes! Inclined planes are simple machines. They help
us to do jobs more easily. But don't take our word for it. Put inclined
planes to the test with the fun experiments you'll find in this book. As
part of the Searchlight Books(TM) collection, this series sheds light on
a key science question--How Do Simple Machines Work? Hands-on
experiments, interesting photos, and useful diagrams will help you find
the answer!
