How to Catch the Wind Author: Anjali Vaidya Illustrator: Ivette Salom

Air is always around us. Moving air is called wind. When wind blows, it carries energy. 2/9

The wind’s energy can lift kites into the sky. 3/9

When something resists the wind’s movement, its energy can build up... 4/9

before releasing in a violent burst. 5/9

But we can also capture the wind’s energy and change it into energy that we can use. 6/9

Turbines help us transform The energy of moving air makes wind energy into electrical energy. the blades of a wind turbine spin. 7/9

And the spinning blades change wind energy into electricity. 8/9

We can use this electricity long after the wind stops blowing. 9/9
