Description:
Have you ever seen a ramp at a school or library? That's an inclined plane! In Inclined Planes Ramp It Up: Simple Machines for Kids, readers ages 5 to 8 learn how inclined planes are flat, sloping surfaces that make it easier to move heavy things from lower ground to higher ground instead of lifting them. Glossary, photos, and a hands-on activity make this book fundamental for STEAM learning.
Brief description: Andi Diehn has written many books for children, and a few for adults as well. She works as an editor and marketer for Nomad Press and lives with her family in rural New Hampshire.
