If you're not sure whether you're daring enough to jump from a plane or off a cliff, this informative book may help you make up your mind. Your students will learn about a variety of wind sports, such as skydiving, hang gliding, and parasailing. They'll read about the equipment and training that each sport requires and how much it costs. Invite the adventure-lovers in your class to imagine themselves outfitted in a jumpsuit, goggles, and a parachute ready to make that first jump!
