The towering pyramids in Egypt would not exist without the inclined plane. This simple device transformed the way people do work by allowing workers to move objects without having to lift them vertically. Inclined planes as ramps are vital to modern-day life, allowing trucks to transport everything from furniture to food. Readers learn how to recognize these devices with this engaging narrative as it conveys crucial STEM concepts. The compelling information in this book, including photographs of familiar objects that are inclined planes, allows readers to understand the importance of the inclined plane and the forces that make it work.

Inclined planes make difficult moving jobs much easier. They are used to move objects from a lower place to a higher place or vice versa without having to lift that object vertically. We can slide the object up or down the inclined plane to use less force. Inclined planes are all around us and have been used for thousands of years. Readers will learn about the parts of an inclined plane, why they're beneficial, and where they can be found in our everyday lives.
