09.01.2022 Please pass on to any teachers you know Following last March’s great success with more than 802 schools from 77 countries around the world involved in the ac...tivity, we are happy to announce the Eratosthenes Experiment September 2019, which will take place on Monday, the 23rd of September! Do not miss the opportunity to participate in this fascinating international event! Take part through your school by registering at the Eratosthenes Experiment website with your school’s longitude and latitude. Once you are registered, you will be put in touch with a school from the same longitude with you by the organizing team. Together with your partner school, you will record data, collaborate, calculate the circumference of the Earth and submit the data. In order to stand a chance to win a scholarship to attend the 2020 European Science Education Academy (ESEA) Summer School in Greece, take a photo of your experiment and submit it until the 11th of October along with your data. For more info about the contest please visit: http://eratosthenes.ea.gr/content/photo-contest-2019 . Stay tuned by joining the Eratosthenes Experiment Community. There, you’ll find your country’s community (Network of related communities - on the right)and relevant educational material. If you do not have access to computers or tablets your students’ knowledge on the subject will be assessed by the means of an online questionnaire which can be found here. The questionnaire, available in many languages, should be answered before the lesson begins (pre-questionnaire) and after the lesson’s end (post questionnaire) so as to monitor the knowledge obtained by the students. Visit Eratosthenes Experiment official website, create your account and make use of it in order to register your school, submit & store your experiment data to compare them with future data. If you already had created an account in order to take part in Eratosthenes Experiment past events, all you have to do is to enter your account, update your profile if it’s needed (e.g. School name and coordinates if you are working in a new school this year, etc.) and don’t forget to check the Eratosthenes September 2019 participation box. Also photos from the experiment taking part at your school (or another location) could be included in the gallery of Eratosthenes official website. For this purpose, please send, up to 3 photos at the most, to [email protected] The Eratosthenes Experiment is organized under the support of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in the framework of the celebrations for the IAU 100th anniversary and the astronomical breakthroughs that have shaped science, technology and culture throughout the last century. Join the Eratosthenes Experiment to get a glimpse of FUNdamental science!
