Generations, Inc.: From Boomers to Linksters--Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work
Members of each generation share special signposts: collective experiences that influence our expectations, actions, and mind-sets. They also mold our ideas about company loyalty, work ethic, and the definition of a job well done. And now that five different generations are working together simultaneously from Traditionals to Generation Y and beyond it's even more important to understand where every one's coming from.
Harnessing children's natural curiosity about the world, this engaging series introduces kids to key science concepts through a simple question-and-answer format.
Absorbing artwork illustrates how friction, slopes, pushing, and pulling affect motion.
In Friction, two young islanders, Olive and Troy, are delivering mail with a mammoth-drawn wagon when they learn how important the force of friction is as they attempt to slow down! Applying what they discover about friction, Olive and Troy test a variety of brakes, trying to find the type just right for them. Even with proper brakes, it does take some time to come to a stop, though. Young Troy and Olive find this out as they join their two delivery mammoths for an unscheduled bath after a foiled attempt to stop quickly!
