Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster.... Rattle :... Even though there are no sounds in the vacuum of space, it is very noisy inside the International Space Station. A lot of the noise comes from the rattling and creaking of fans and events. Student Activity : Acquire a large, clean empty cardboard box(top or bottom removed), big enough to fit easily and comfortably over a person's head, leaving ample room for ventilation. Sit the box on the floor or table, open side down, and tap or scratch lightly on the outside of the box using only your hands. Next, place the box over your head and repeat the procedure. Comment on the loudness of the sounds you hear. Relate this to conditions inside the International Space Station. Student Challenge : Acquire a simple, inexpensive household fan. Develop a method to reduce the amount of noise produced by the fan without reducing the airflow. 1, record 2, English, - rattle

Affiche «Rock'n'roll spatial». [...] Bruits : [...] Même si les sons ne se propagent pas dans le vide spatial, l'intérieur de la Station spatiale internationale est très bruyant. Bon nombre de ces bruits viennent des cliquetis et des craquements des ventilateurs et des évents d'aération. Activité de l'élève : Prenez une grande boîte de carton propre et vide (parties supérieure et inférieure enlevées) et dont les dimensions sont suffisamment grandes pour pouvoir y passer la tête et laisser amplement de place pour la ventilation. Placez la boîte sur le plancher ou sur une table, côté ouvert vers le bas, et frappez ou grattez légèrement du bout du doigt la partie extérieure de la boîte. Placez ensuite la boîte sur votre tête et refaites les mêmes bruits. Décrivez l'intensité des sons que vous entendez. Faites enfin le lien entre l'expérience que vous venez d'effectuer et les conditions qui règnent à l'intérieur de la Station spatiale internationale. Défi : Utilisez un simple petit ventilateur maison peu coûteux. Trouvez une méthode qui permettra de réduire le bruit produit par le ventilateur sans pour autant diminuer le débit d'air. 1, record 2, French, - bruits
