This activity aims to introduce students to the concept of light pollution. While promoting critical thinking and awareness related to this important and fast growing problem, the activity also introduce students to the use of some interesting online tools such as Stellarium and Google Earth. Students will evaluate the light pollution on a determined street and produce a report with suggestion to solve the problem.

The solar system is littered with Ice. The bulk of this material orbits quietly in the outer Solar System, but sometimes something disturbs the ice and it comes plunging in toward the Sun. In this lesson, we will discuss comets, how we explore them, and how they brought water to worlds like Earth.
