What is the Eratosthenes experiment?
Students measure the circumference of the Earth
using simple means
Use ISE eLearning tool to find local noon
At that time they measure the
shadow shaped by an
one-metre stick and they note it
They contact a school on the same medieval and they
exchange data
Using their data and their schools they succeed in measuring the circumference of the Earth
