H-R Diagram
A collection of stars visible from Earth can be arranged and classified based on their color, temperature, luminosity, radius, and mass. This can be done using one or two-dimensional plots, including a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of luminosity vs. temperature.

Task Card: HR Diagram - Color vs Temperature
This task card can be used for remote learning or in class as a small group, a station, or individual act... (more)ivity. In this activity, students will arrange known stars based on their characteristics (color and temperature), and then plot information on a HR diagram.
