Light Pollution
A survey-and-observation study of how artificial light affects people, plants, animals and birds, and the visibility of the night sky. Written in Class IX.
Written as a Class IX student, this was my first piece of research. It investigated the effects of artificial light at night on humans, plants, animals and birds, and on how much of the night sky remains visible.
I collected survey responses and first-hand observations, organised the data into tables and graphs, and drew conclusions only from what the observations supported.
