Comments:
Eratosthenes experiment is something that no normal person could think of ( maybe not until they thought about for a long time). Eratosthenes must have been extremley smart tohave been able to measure the circumfrense of the earth.
I had a lot of fun doing the project, I hope i can do it again.
