Welded pyroclastic flow deposit has an unconformable relationship with the underlying unwelded pyroclastics. The mineral assemblage of essential material in each deposit are similar, containing feldspar, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene. From depositional facies and refractive index of glass shards ..., both welded pyroclastic flow deposit and unwelded pyroclastics are correlative with upper part of the ejecta of great ... pyroclastic eruption (about 105,000 years ago). 2, record 1, English, - welded%20pyroclastic%20flow%20deposit

Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster. ... Roll: ... The long axis of the International Space Station rotates one complete revolution (end-over-end) during each full orbit around the Earth. Student Activity: Place a globe of the Earth on a table near the centre of the room. Walk around the room so that you are always facing the globe. How must you turn in order that you always face the globe? How much must the International Space Station turn during each orbit around the Earth so that it always has the same face "looking" down at the Earth? Student Challenge: Looking down on the Earth's North Pole, the International Space Station orbits the Earth in a counter-clockwise direction (this is the same direction as the Earth turns on its axis). Sketch the Earth (looking down on the North Pole) and add the orbit of the International Space Station. Show the ISS at three or four points during the orbit. Assuming the Sun is to the left of your diagram, what happens to the solar panels as the ISS travels around the Earth? If the ISS "tumbles" as it orbits the Earth, can you figure out how to keep the solar panels always facing the Sun? 1, record 2, English, - roll

Affiche «Rock’n’roll spatial». [...] Culbutes :[...] Le grand axe de la Station spatiale internationale effectue une révolution complète(de bout en bout) à chaque orbite que la station effectue autour de la Terre. Activité de l'élève : Placez un globe terrestre sur une table au centre d’une pièce. Faites le tour de la pièce de manière à ce que le globe soit toujours directement dans votre champ de vision. Comment devez-vous tourner pour que le globe soit toujours devant vous? Comment la Station spatiale internationale doit-elle tourner pendant chaque orbite autour de la Terre pour que ce soit toujours le même côté qui soit «orienté» vers la Terre? Défi : En prenant le pôle Nord comme point d’observation, nous constatons que la Station spatiale internationale orbite autour de la Terre dans le sens anti-horaire(dans le même sens que la Terre tourne autour de son axe). Faites un croquis de la Terre(en prenant le pôle Nord comme point d’observation) et reproduisez l'orbite empruntée par la Station spatiale internationale. En supposant que le Soleil est à gauche du croquis, qu'arrive-t-il aux panneaux solaires pendant que l'ISS tourne autour de la Terre? Si L'ISS «culbute» pendant qu'elle orbite autour de la Terre, pouvez-vous trouver un moyen qui permettrait de faire en sorte que les panneaux solaires soient toujours face au Soleil? 1, record 2, French, - culbute

Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster. Shake: ... The International Space Station undergoes oscillations. If it is given a slight push, such as a bump from the Shuttle while undergoing a docking procedure, the ISS [International Space Station] vibrates with a to-and-fro shaking motion. Student Activity: Docking the Shuttle to an oscillating Space Station is a bit like trying to toss a ball into a swaying bucket from a distance. The trajectory of the ball must be perfect (the launch speed, angle and direction) and synchronized exactly with the motion of the oscillating bucket. Try it. Student Challenge: Clamp one end of a 30 cm steel ruler to the edge of a table so that it sticks straight out. Bend the free end of the ruler downward a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Attach a heavy mass (approximately 200 grams), such as a large blob of putty or Plasticine, to the free end of the ruler. Again, depress the free end of the ruler a few centimetres and release it. Observe what happens. Try doubling the mass or changing the length of the free part of the ruler. Observe what happens to the motion of the ruler as the mass or length changes. Design an experiment to quantitatively measure the effect you have observed. Relate your findings to the oscillating behaviour of the International Space Station as it grows in mass and length. 1, record 3, English, - shake

Affiche «Rock’n’roll spatial». Vibrations :[...] La Station spatiale internationale oscille. Si elle subit une légère poussée, comme suite à un choc causé par la navette pendant les procédures d’amarrage, l'ISS vibre dans un mouvement de va-et-vient. Activité de l'élève : Amarrer la navette à une station spatiale oscillante est un peu comme essayer de lancer une balle dans un seau en mouvement. La trajectoire de la balle doit être parfaite(vitesse, angle et direction de lancement) et en synchronisme précis avec les mouvements du seau oscillant. Faites l'expérience. Défi : Fixez solidement une règle d’acier de 30 cm à l'extrémité d’une table de manière à ce qu'un bon bout de la règle dépasse de la table. Pliez l'extrémité de la règle vers le bas(quelques centimètres) et relâchez-la. Observez ce qui se passe. Fixez un poids(environ 200 grammes de mastic ou de pâte à modeler) au bout de l'extrémité libre de la règle. Une fois de plus, pliez le bout de la règle vers le bas et relâchez-la à nouveau. Observez ce qui se passe. Reprenez l'exercice en doublant le poids de la pâte ou en modifiant la longueur de la partie libre de la règle. Observez ce qui se passe au niveau du mouvement de la règle en fonction du changement de masse et de longueur. Élaborez une expérience qui permettra de mesurer quantitativement l'effet observé. Associez les résultats obtenus au comportement oscillatoire de la Station spatiale internationale à mesure que sa masse et sa longueur augmentent. 1, record 3, French, - vibrations

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 4, 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 4, French, - bruits
