Grader

A grader is a big machine that is used to make flat surfaces like roads, parking lots, and construction sites. It looks like a big truck with a long blade on the bottom that can move up and down.

Picture this: Have you ever tried building a sandcastle at the beach? When you first start, the sand is all bumpy, and it's hard to make anything. But if you use your hands or a shovel to push the sand around and make it flat, then you can build your castle on top of it. Well, a grader works the same way, but on a much bigger scale.

When people want to make a road or level out a construction site, they call in a grader. The operator will sit in the cab of the machine and drive it back and forth, like a big lawnmower. The blade on the bottom will scrape and push the dirt and rocks around until the surface is flat and level. It's like smoothing out a big piece of cookie dough before you cut out your cookies.

Graders are really important to make sure we can drive on roads safely or build things on level ground. Without them, everything would be lumpy and bumpy, and we couldn't get anywhere!
