In this lesson, students synthesize their learning by presenting and analyzing HR diagrams created through different methods. They engage in a gallery walk and whole-class discussion to identify trends, anomalies, and insights. A mini-lesson on AI bias and limitations encourages critical thinking about the role of AI in scientific research. Students conclude with a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) writing task, articulating their stance on the value of AI in astronomy based on evidence gathered throughout this lesson series.
