2. 1. Measuring Earth’s radius using Eratosthene’s method A team of students from our school made the experiment and you are going to watch a short movie with the results of their work.

3. 2. Horizontal/Garden Sundials The steps taken by the students from “Danubiana” Technical College were: - they decided to make a sundial called the “Horizontal/Garden Sundial” -they settled the dimensions of the sundial and the pattern of the plate ( 1,5 m) and they decided that the gnomon must be movable and the calendar positions must be determined for each day’s gnomon location.

6. -they found the right location for the sundial -they made a simulation to see if the sundial is functional -the building of the sundial is going to start after the meeting in Graz and…you will be able to see the result… You will see !!!
