All hurricanes are made of air, water, and energy; How Could We Harness a Hurricane? explores how humankind may be able to channel those elements for helpful purposes. A hurricane is
the largest storm on the planet with the power to destroy life and property. It is a fascinating system and the focus of
intense scientific study. Scientists and engineers have yet to design a way to weaken or steer a hurricane, but that doesn't mean they haven't been
thinking about how it could work, though! Legendary
science author Vicki Cobb is here to tell you that story with this
accessible and interesting read.
In
How Could We Harness a Hurricane? Vicki clearly explains
air pressure, energy, and wind to show how hurricanes are formed. And like Vicki's other award-winning titles, this book leads her readers to learn by asking questions. This book is sure to
fascinate and stimulate young scientists like you!
How Could We Harness A Hurricane? which made the
"Best STEM Book 2018" list (K-12) by the National Science Teachers Association and the Children's Book Council, offers questions and provides new points of view that may just change your thinking. It shows the work
scientists and engineers are doing to avoid future disasters like hurricanes Katrina, Sandy, and Maria. In addition, Vicki Cobb shares
hands-on experiments that make
meteorology even more fun, be it at home or in the classroom. This informational book introduces science concepts with
lots of photos and diagrams, a helpful glossary, and a bibliography for further reading,
