What is Wind Power?

Do you like to fly a kite on a windy day? The kite lifts off
the ground and goes high in the sky. A pinwheel spins in the
wind. Wind blows the seeds from a dandelion. The kite, the
pinwheel, and the seeds are all moved by wind power.
Part 3 Let s practice

Look and check.

Wind power is a source of energy. Getting power from wind is nothing new.
People used wind power long ago. They made sailboats. Later, they built
windmills. Wind turns the blades on a windmill. People used windmills to
pump water or turn grain into flour. Today, we can use wind power to make
electricity. Electricity powers many things in our homes, such as lights and
refrigerators.
