Eratosthenes Experiment preparations! Sun energy , Physics , Math and… Art !!!

Jan 201912

The infamous Eratosthenes experiment, was conducted more than 2200 years ago, by the synonymous Greek mathematician and geographer, using only a stick, a measuring tape, feet and brains!

It is highly educational and can be implemented rather easily nowadays, and also adapted to our Erasmu+ project ccoperation and become a common project , combining fun and science!

Mr Grigoris Vassilopoulos , Physics teacher from 2nd Junior High School who had the idea and organises the common experiment suggests that the experiment should take place around the time of the spring equinox, March 21st , keeping in mind that there is a better chance of good weather conditions then, too !

The main reason is that in a few days after that, our students will meet in Genoa and the whole thing will be fresh in their minds to exchange thoughts and ideas, or to give a presentation to each other.
So the experiment might take place between 18th and 22nd of March.
