We just saw the 5. issue of the ESEM - magazine. We were very interested
on it. "Our noses sticks on the screen." We admire the photos because this
time they are very clear. But unfortunately there are not always the completely
French group at the photos. Mostly there are only the pupils, which makes
the measures, on it.
Also from the other group are hardly pupils on the photos. They boys of
our class liked to make the measurement, because they came a little too
late to the next hour. And we (poor girls) had only to make
the protocols and comments. The weather jokes are very cheerful, but unfortunately
is no comment of me at the new ESEM, then was been perfect the issue, but
one cannot have even all!

Let's start measuring
This year the third class of "Liceo Scientifico-Tecnologico Oreste
Del Prete"- Sava, has become a member of the international twinning
project called "e-Hermes", concerning the study of the
weather conditions and the envA Few Commentsironmental data in our
community.
When our teachers told us that we were responsible for that, we
had a really enthusiastic reaction.
It is a new experience for us and we can learn new things.
Mr Patrono,our physics teacher, explained the working of
the instruments to us and our I. T.
teacher, Mrs Vecchio, showed us how
to process the data through the electronic
media.
We located our weather station in the school yard, but we had some problems.
We didn't have a support to install the instruments on, so we had to put
them in a provisional place. Now we have a sort of open box with
ideal conditions of ventilation and protection from outdoor hazards.
Every morning we take measurements of temperature, air humidity, height
and pH value of rainfall. We are also going to take measurements of noise
and of magnetic fields. In fact, our school has seen to the purchase of
the sound level measuring device as well as of the magnetic field
measuring device.
To be true, it has bought the electronic components for each device which
have been mounted by some students in "Oreste Del Prete" Electronics and
Telecommunications classes.
We send all data to our partner school, the Greek Ellinogermaniki Agogi,
by Internet. We also had a problem in the computer room: we had
to enter our daily data, but we didn't remember the right
password. Our I.T. teacher was at home and she was the only one to know
the password! We tried all the possible combinations for almost
ten minutes, then we gave up and phoned our teacher. At last she told
us the "magic word".
