Whats an Inclined Plane?

Inclined planes help move things from a low place to a high place. They also help move things from a high place to a low place. You can nd inclined planes in many places.

.

.

What Does It Mean?

A plane is a at surface. A board can be a plane. Inclined means that something is tipped so one end is higher than the other. So, an inclined plane is a at surface with one end higher than the other.

.

.

Going Up? Going Down?

Inclined planes make work easier. Its easier to move something heavy up an inclined plane instead of lifting it straight up. Its safer to move something heavy down an inclined plane instead of dropping it straight down.

.

.

Ramps Rock!

A ramp is an inclined plane. Ramps allow people in wheelchairs to get into and out of buildings. A parking ramp is a building where people park their cars. Parking ramps use inclined planes so cars can drive higher and lower.

.

.

Wheeeeee!

A playground slide is an inclined plane. When you sit at the top of a slide, gravity allows you to ride to the bottom. A at slide wouldnt be much fun because you wouldnt be able to get moving!

.

.

Lets Get Moving

Movers use an inclined plane to move heavy things into a moving truck. They use the same plane to move heavy things o the moving truck. Using an inclined plane makes the movers job much easier.

.

.

Dump It!

A dump truck can hold dirt, logs, rocks, and snow. When workers want to dump the load, they make the back of the truck tip up. Just like what happens on a slide, gravity causes the load to slide out of the truck.

.

.

Ladders and Stairs

Not all inclined planes are at and smooth. Ladders and stairs are also inclined planes. One end of them is higher than the other. Ladders and stairs help people go up and down more easily.
