A series of books that introduces simple machines and how they work. Full-colour photographs illustrate how we use these machines in our everyday lives. Each spread comprises a descriptive photograph plus clear, easy-to-understand text to interest the young reader in basic physics. New words are set in bold and appear with short explanations in a comprehensive glossary. Each book contains a how-to-make activity page, a list of books for further reading and an index. SLOPES explains how different sorts of incline are used to move objects or people around, and draws attention to everyday items, such as stairs, which readers may not have thought of as slopes.
This is Book 4 in the Simple Machines Series. See all Simple Machines books here.
