DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Matipon Tangmatitham (National Astronomical Research
  Institute of Thailand (NARIT))\nThe Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram is one of 
 the most powerful tools astronomers have in their arsenal to classify the 
 stars we can observe using limited information. Stellar life-cycle\, lifet
 ime of a main-sequence star\, cluster classification\, isochrone curve\, a
 nd many other astronomical concepts are built upon this simple concept of 
 a diagram. However\, many students find this diagram intimidating and conf
 using. While many attempts are made to help navigate students through the 
 relationships between different parameters along the diagram\, the instruc
 tions often ignore the single most important aspect that is in most studen
 ts' minds: "Why?"\n\nIn this workshop activities\, a simple analogy is use
 d to help students understand not the "What" the H-R Diagram is\, but the 
 "Why" was H-R diagram was created the first place. Students are then intro
 duced to learning "why" this tools remain among the most powerful tools we
  have to understand the stars in the night sky. By spending a bit of time 
 to understand the "why"\, the "what" can follows much more naturally now t
 hat the learners are engaged in the topic.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/e
