Description
In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers. Learners consider such questions as why attraction to light benefits certain animals, whether adding color to the light sources affects the animals' behavior, and how light could be used for pest control.
