"Carefully leveled text and vibrant photographs introduce early fluent readers to the science and engineering behind wind power. Includes infographics, activity, glossary, and index."--

Surveys the history of wind power and windmills, outlines the science that makes them work, and provides instructions for increasingly difficult projects that demonstrate each principle.

"Readers will find out why we burn fossil fuels, the harm it is causing, and why evolution in the wind power industry could make it a powerful weapon in the fight to create a sustainable future"--OCLC.

"Bold color photos and easy-to-read text introduce readers to wind power. Five informative chapters highlight what wind power is, how it works, and why it is a good source of energy. Zoom in even deeper with key stats and bolded glossary terms that make learning fun."--Publisher's description.

Every day, vast fields of wind turbines turn the energy of moving air into useful electricity. The Science of Wind Energy examines the field of wind energy, including the underlying scientific concepts, its potential for replacing fossil fuels, examples of how it is used today, and prospective future developments.

People have been harnessing the power of wind for a long time. This renewable, clean energy source can power our high-tech world without creating as much pollution as fossil fuels do. Readers will learn about wind turbines and how they make electricity and what the future of wind power looks like. A glossary, timeline, and color photos add to this easy-to-read addition to the series.

"Wind energy harnesses the power of the wind. This clean, renewable energy is growing in its technology and popularity. Readers will learn how it is used, how it compares to other forms of energy, and how they may get involved in this exciting growing field some day."--
