4. COMMUNITIES BEGAN TO USE ENERGY (I)
The sun and wood gave man energy for a long time. It was only
about 5,000 years ago that people started using other sources.
People began using the wind to move from one place to another.
They built boats with sails that captured the wind. They could
travel to new places. Wind was the first energy source used
for transportation.

About 2,500 years ago, people began using windmills and water
wheels to grind grain. Later, these simple machines were used
to pump water and run sawmills.
