Function - Inclined Planes

We have started our learning around our inquiry topic for this term - Function - Simple Machines.

There are six simple machines that can help us make work easier and we began our inquiry by looking at inclined planes. We learnt inclined planes are a sloped surface like a ramp. They are used to help us move or lift heavy loads.

We had a lot of fun using blocks to make our own ramps or inclined planes that we could move a toy car down.
