Using known stars magnitude (this is reliable addmissible data) you could make observations in various locations to plot sky polution.
You see them here but not there
.. Hypotisis..light polution.. some one else can explain steps better but your teacher would have guided you on the expectation.
That is not as easy as it sounds, if reasonable sample were to be taken.
Good luck
.
What a wonderful opportunity for you...
