A string raced (9.99 at Toy's R Us) makes an excellent
demonstration device for inclined plane.  It is cheap,
relatively friction-free and can be set up an any angle.  The
only drawback is that if the tension is not great, then the
string tends to sag a bit over long ranges.  This, however,
could be used as a discussion starter.
