The Power of Wind

Nelson Cengage Learning Australia, © 2016

This 32-page literacy series book — for students in grade 6 — explores the many ways humans use wind for energy and recreation. Find out about a wind-powered car that travelled 5000 km and how people prepare for extreme weather events, such as tornadoes. A recount text reveals a child’s perspective on Hurricane Juan, which hit Halifax, Nova Scotia, in September 2003.
