What is wind made of?

Nonficiton. This book poses questions about the wind and gets young ones thinking in scientific ways without it being a sometimes scary thing of “science“. This book has colorful illustrations and fun activities that really bring the reader in and keep them engaged.

Fantastic book about scientific principles written in a way that is easy for young reader to understand

ever face a strong wind

this book is great for science class

i think this is so fun way to introduce an important science topic

“You can discover why by asking questions and doing things to get answers.“

This book had words that talked about how umbrellas can move around and they did this by using a picture.

This book helped better describe natural weather occurants in a manner that was fun and engaging for the reader.

I think this book would be great for 2nd-4th graders for either a read aloud or an individual read

I read this book to my second graders last semester for science and they absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this book, it is super engaging and fun but also teaches students a lot about different aspects of science.

Ever lose your hat in a strong wind?

Ever feel the wind pushing you from side to side?

Know why you can feel the wind, but never see it?

This book has a fun spin on science. Usually books like this are corny and made with stock images. This book incorporates intersting deign elements and factual things that help the reader learn.

This book is a science based book for kids. It talks about natural everyday things in the world that most people do not give a second guess to, but dives in and helps explain these concepts to a child.

This is an award-winning book. It was the Dr. Suess award. The author makes scientific principles easy for even the youngest kids to understand. This book is about a young child who loves to play. Bring along balloons. Find a windy place. Together you'll face the wind and see that learning is a breeze. Discover science, and the world will never look the same.

“Ever face a strong wind?“

I would use this in my classroom to help my kids understand basic science through play. It is an easy way to introduce them to the beginning of science lessons.

Review: I Face the Wind by Vicki Cobb, 2003, is a nonfiction story about science, but told in a fun entertaining way!
Blurb: this is a great example of the genre because while its factual and real information it's a fun story with activities and fun illustrations.
Quote: “How can you weigh air?”

“You can discover why by asking questions and doing things to get answers.”

I like how it unified real activities and experiments to do with children. It makes learning about wind fun. It was published in 2003.

This nonfiction book touches on science for young learners. It answers questions we have about wind and how it works. The illustrations were interesting too. The book flows nicely, one of my favorite this year.

I liked the way they made these words look like the inside out umbrella

This would be good for maybe first graders and to do an activity before or after the book to further their understanding of science

This is a nonfiction book. This was a good book because it included everyday things that happen to kids and explained the science behind them

“Ever face a strong wind? Your hair blows away from your face. You could lose your hat. And if the wind is blowing hard enough, you may even have to walk at a slant.“

I just love the illustrations of this book, especially the one I have attached to this post. I love how the illustrator decided to illustrate the wind. Each illustration in this book is unique, and not like anything I've ever seen before.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it explains what wind is and why we have wind very well to children. The illustrations in this book are also amazing and very unique.

“Go outside and watch. Leaves shake on a tree”

I enjoyed the rhythm of the story and how it flows.

I enjoyed reading this story and I feel like it does a good job of explaining what the wind does to younger children.

Tape the inflated balloon or bag onto the hanger. What happens when you hang it on the pencil?

I loved how this book was hands on! I have never seen a book like it. I also loved the illustrations, they were big and colorful.

This book was amazing! It is designed to the reader can make discoveries while reading. It asks you questions that can be answered by doing the activities about wind. It gives you a list of materials before reading the book so the reader can figure out facts about wind through first-hand experiences.

“why does the wind push you?“

I loved the experiment to show that air has weight. the structure was amazing with the step by step pictures. I would defiantly have this in a classroom

Love, Love, Love. I feel that this book would make learning something as confusing as wind so much easier. The experiments in the book were simple but illustrated this concept so well

This book is nonfiction and was published in 2003. The whole concept of this book is to be interactive and supply information about air and wind. I think that it is fun and very informative, and great when discussing these subjects in the classroom.
Aside from this, the book was extremely interactive and allows for one to pose questions to either the other readers or the listeners. I think it is a great read for anyone and has useful information.
