In Greek primary education there is no mention of Eratosthenes' method. Primary school students are taught at school that the shape of the Earth is “an oblate spheroid” by a series of impressive photographs of the Earth from space. This knowledge remains useless, if students do not engage themselves in "measuring the Earth" with simple mathematical calculations .

Adventures with Simple Machines: Rope and Ice Catching Game!
This activity aims to teach students how to measure time and design a sundial by observing the
movement of the sun and the formation of shadows. Students combine their scientific,
mathematical, and design skills by creating a sundial that operates based on the movement of
the sun. The activity focuses on direct observation, data collection, and analysis. It also helps
students understand the basic concepts of the sun's movement and the angle of sunlight,
fostering their interest in the sciences.
