Team Up

Story Time

Gigi got a big surprise this winter, her family arranged a parent-child skiing trip. It was the first time Gigi had seen snow in person, she was very excited. Gigi put on her skiing equipment and took the cable car up the hill. She looked down on the mountain as the cable car gradually rose into the air, she was impressed by the white, snowy world.

Story Time

When she arrived at the ski course, she was ready for her first skiing adventure. In the beginning, Gigi didn’t know how to ski, and she frequently lost control. She was screaming all the way down and then finally fell at the bottom. The coach told Gigi, “The skiing field is like a steep slope, any objects on it slide down, unless there is an external force to make it stop.” After this explanation and some more instruction, Gigi learnt how to ski properly.

Daily Application

By using an inclined plane, for example, one can easily load or unload goods onto or off a freight truck. The smaller the gradient of the inclined plane, the smaller the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal plane. The force required to be applied to the object is lesser and the moving distance is longer. On the contrary, when the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal plane increases, the force applied to move the object has to be increased. T he moving distance shortens. An inclined plane is a typical simple mechanical

• structure. It is an inclined flat plank capable of

lifting an object less strenuously from a low area to a high area. The length of the route required to lift the object also increases.

Brainstorming

What other applications does an inclined plan have?

Hands-on Experiment

Let’s do it: Put a marble on the top of the steep slope then release it, observe what’s going to happen when it falls onto the second layer, and try to adjust its angle or the length of the slope.

Hands-on Creativity

Give it a try, without affecting the falling rate of the marble, combine other designs with your slide.

Let’s score yourself. How many stars do you get today?

Evaluation

Model Assembled Good job! You can get the 1st star when you complete the assembly. Experiment Complete Accomplish the experiment and get the 2nd star. Model Creation Excellent! You make your own creation and get the 3rd star.
