It is a good idea, which improves the cooperation between various schools and gives incentives to the pupils for cooperation. Thanks to the Internet we can exchange interesting information with other schools, or build up pen-friendships. This project teaches us better understanding for nature.

My partner and myself found the newsletter very interesting and instructive. We learnt many interesting things about the Freiherr-vom-Stein-School in Frankfurt. We particularly liked the Virtual Classmates, but also the rest of the periodical about the Hermes Project. The Project also has its own website.

Rainfall Time
Athens: Beginning of January some rain, highest amounts towards end of March with 22mm.
Schwechat: Unfortunately, I did not get the graph in time.
Temperature Time
Athens: End of January minimum of 2-3?C. End of February and mid-April up to 25?C.
Schwechat: End of January cold with -10?C, beginning of March up to 20?C .
Energy Time
Athens: Beginning of March maximum 60 Joules, end of January minimum 12 Joules.
Schwechart: From January to end of March the same, beginning of April minimum 90 Joules, until end of April slow increase to 120 Joules, beginning of February maximum 225 Joules.

It was nice and also very interesting. Fascinating was also, that we could see the different climatic conditions at the various schools in different countries. We think, that in Maths we should do more often such experiments.

1) Rain Time
During the holidays it rained less than during the schoolyear
2) Energy Time
During the holidays almost no energy was consumed.
3) Maximum Atmospheric Pressure
In Athens, the atmospheric pressure remains constant between 10-35?C at 1000 mbar.
4) Temperature Time
Since January the weather has continuously warmed up. For the holidays there are no data.

It was interesting: not only the temperature fluctuates very much, but also the amount of rain. The higher the temperature the lower the humidity of the atmosphere.

The various climatic zones are often quite different. The Easter Holidays have yielded considerable savings in energy.

Hi!
Two weeks ago, shortly before Easter, some noise measurements were taken at our school. Two men came, who performed these measurements. One could volunteer to take part Everybody who had put his or her name on the list, was supposed to bring along a portable CD or cassette player. First we had to fill in a questionnaire (about 5 pages). Then we went to a separate room and set for ourselves the volume at which we usually listen to our music. After that, we put the head phones on the head of a dummy.
The volume was measured. Then we had to put in a tape or a CD, on which only some rustling could be heard. After that we had to turn up the volume fully. This was also measured. Like that we could find out which volume damages the hearing. We could follow every step on the way and found everything very interesting.
Ciao

As of now, Greece (Ellinogermaniki Agogi School), Germany (Freiherr-vom-Stein-School), and Austria (Bundesgymnasium Schwechat are participating in the project. Efforts are being made to include more countries. Pupils of lower and upper grades measure temperature, electricity, humidity of the atmosphere... As some pupils find this boring, we also exchange e-mails and may become good pen-friends. We can learn many things of each other, and with English and German we communicate quite well. Many like the project, others dont. Impossible to make everybody happy.
