			<description><![CDATA[You don&rsquo;t need much, just some sun and a long stick!Pupils and teachers in Belgium, Italy, the United Kingdom and Antarctica will join forces to measure the shadows of a 1m long stick! We compile an online database that can be used in geography lessons about the movements of the earth in our solar system, in trigonometry classes and even in classes discussing how time used to be measured long ago. Of course it is also a fun educational activity for people of any age!]]></description>

The aim of the AHA! project is to link the scientific research conducted at PEA to analog projects at school. By conducting some observations themselves, the students should then better understand the impact of their behaviour on the environment and consequently adapt it.]]></description>
