Fun Science Facts

Moving beyond 'Employee Engagement'

Let’s start with the first assumption. Like any other physiological ailment, psychological ailments also have causes, symptoms and a prognosis, in the same breadth, treating a symptom does not alleviate the cause. By running a pan-organisation or department-wide fun event, we are again assuming that the cause of employee stress and lack of morale is of lack of fun, which I believe might be the case for some, and for all you know might not be the case for a large majority. Now let’s look at the second assumption. There are two dimensions of emotional connect or disconnect from an individual standpoint. Firstly, its the ‘Peer level’ connect and the second and the more relevant from an engagement standpoint is the ‘Organization level’ connect. Depending on the organisation’s culture and how the events are designed, if the interaction happens more at a peer-level, then again the employee might feel connected to his peer but not to the organisation at large, but then is that the outcome that we are looking at? Much of what we just discussed in terms of ‘fun events’ is all external drivers. In other words, these are aspects in the external environment which lead to emotional engagement. Research tells us that even if we focus on external drives of engagement, fun events are only one of the several drivers which could lead to engagement.  There could be other external drivers like physical work environment, for instance, it is good to check if your employees sit in a cramped office space vis-a-vis a more spacious environment. High noise levels in the work environment have shown to have a negative impact on employee satisfaction and productivity. The tools that employees use also are a part of the external drivers, for instance, a very heavy or old laptop with worn out keys might have a significant negative impact on the user’s engagement and productivity, depending on a given context. Moving on to internal drivers of engagement, Studies among highly engaged employees have shown that the there are certain key internal drivers that seem to have relatively greater impact on the engagement levels of these individuals. For instance, the opportunity to use one’s strengths stands out, this again to be implemented would require a fairly well designed intervention to first understand the strengths of each employee and later find a fit of those strengths in his role.

Fun Science Facts

If you have you ever wanted to impress your science teachers, you have come to the right place. Here you will learn some cool facts about space that will not only impress your teachers but if and when you use a well chosen cool fact to start a conversation you just might make a new friend or amuse an old one. Random science facts can also give you some great ideas for that next science project. And for all of the science teachers out there, using science facts in elementary science classes can get the attention of every student that pass through your classroom door!

So whether you are looking for some great idea for your next science fair project or you are just curious about the world around you, this is the place where science meets fun. It is always so amazing to me that when learning anything, if you can relate it it to something fun, the information just sinks in.

Here are some fun space facts for kids. I am sure that you will want to find out more about astronomy, the Moon, planets, our Sun, the Milky Way galaxy, our Universe and much more.

The first man made object sent into space was in 1957 when the Russian satellite named Sputnik was launched. Footprints left behind by astronauts on the moon will stay there forever as there is no wind to blow them away. Many scientists believe that an asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs around 65 million years ago. The atmosphere of Venus made up mainly of carbon dioxide.

Space is a pretty cool place and scientist that study space can be pretty interesting science teachers. Here are some random facts from the outer regions.

In space Astronauts cant cry because it is impossible for tears to flow without gravity. Our galaxy is so wide at the speed of light it would take you 100,000 years to cross it. The famous Halleys comet returns every 76 years. it last appeared in 1986. it will appear again in 2062. It is because of the Sun and Moons gravity that we have high & low tides. February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have had a full moon. At 60 degrees south latitude, you can sail completely around the world Earth is the only planet that is not named after a Roman god. Venus and Mercury have no moons.

About Space Stars are divided into six color classifications: red stars are the coolest and bluish ones are the hottest The sun is composed entirely of gases and is only about half as dense as water.
