Description
Are the stars in our sky disappearing? Why are human and animal sleep patterns disrupted? There is a type of pollution out there that is less commonly talked about, but it just as damaging to our world; light pollution.
By going through the Engineering Design Process, you’ll explore what light pollution is, the different types, the effects and solutions. With this information, you’ll create a podcast, as a citizen scientist, about this topic and help promote change with our actions. Print-and-go and digital resources to guide creation and exploration.
