    The document outlines the steps for a teaching activity on the HR diagram. Groups must create a lesson for different audiences that contrasts absolute and apparent magnitude, explains parallax and how it determines distance, identifies the variables on the x and y axes, describes what characterizes main sequence stars, and shows where the sun is located and how it will age over time. Groups must also explain white dwarfs and red giants and why they are not on the main sequence.

    Teaching the HR Diagram Group Activity Procedure You and your group members are creating a lesson about

    the H-R diagram for one of the following groups of people. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Kindergarteners Hillgrove seniors (are not enrolled or have not taken astronomy) Parents Astronomy majors (in college) Astronomy professors

    In your presentation, you must : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Contrast absolute and apparent magnitude. Explain parallax and how it is used to determine distance. Explain the variables on the x and y axes. Explain what characterizes main sequence stars. Describe white dwarfs and red giants and explain why they are not on the main sequence. Show where our sun is located and infer how it will age and its ulitimate fate.
