Hey guys! I did my project on Light pollution in Altanta. Everyone knows that Atlanta is like the New York of the South, but you might not think about all the lights it uses up. This is the Fox Theatre. I have done my project on light pollution in Atlanta, and decided to use the Fox Theatre as an example as a place that uses too much unnecessary lights. As much of downtown Atlanta is too. So I decided since light pollution interests me, and I love to take photo's, I should take photos of all the lights used in three seperate parts of Atlanta: Gwinnett, Downtown, and Ellejah. Down town Atlanta used the most lights, no surprise. Gwinnett used up the next biggest amount of lights. And Ellejah, barely used any. While in this process of taking photos, I noticed that Atlanta uses lots of lights. The while in Downtown, I got a picture of the Fox Theatre, I had eight pictures of every light that the Fox had used, and they were flashy, and alluring. But a waste of our planet. And everyone knows that, right now, we can't take advantage of this planet, any longer. So after I took all the pictures, I posted them on my poster, I had to use 1/3 of the poster for the photos, so they devide evenly. But I didn't think that that put that much pictures of how Downtown Atlanta had over thirty pictures, so i decided to use the WHOLE back of the poster and put, EVEN MORE photos of Downtown there. I taught my classmates about how light pollution hurts our planet, ALOT. So maybe you should start to help the planet too, We could use your help. :-)[|Share It!] [|Edit][|Delete] [|Feature!][|I object!]

For my project, I determined how too much light can affect a rats' health. I had 2 rats. they each lived in the same type of environment, eating the same amount of food. But, they each lived with a different type of light/no light. After I finished my project, It finalized that night time light in female rats makes them mature faster.

=Which lamp gives off less light pollution? By:Annabel= media type="custom" key="3575628"

For my project, I took a cardboard box and I put a piece of cardboard in the middle to separate the inside of the box. Then I built two lamps out of household items and copper tubes. I stuck the two copper tubes through the bottom of the box. Then, I shined a light into each pipe, making sure that it was shining through. Then I got a partner to hold the light. After that I would get a light probe, and measure the light above and below each lamp. One of my lights was a street lamp, and the other was a wide lamp.The street lamp gave off more light and more light pollution, while the wide lamp gave off less light, but almost no light pollution.

P.S. I used and L.E.D. light to shine through each tubes. They seemed to work the best. This was a very interesting project, and it was fun building my own lamps. This project would be a fun weekend family activity! By the way, I was planning on painting the box black to keep the light in, but instead, just keep the flaps from the side of the box ON THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!! This way, you can keep the light in without painting the box. Thank You!
