PRELIMINARIES (2 mins)
Prayer Prayer
-Let’s start our day with a prayer. May I *Ms. Anna will lead the prayer and everyone
request everyone to please stand up, Ms. prays*
Anna will you please lead the prayer?
Greetings
- Good morning class, How’s your day? Greetings
- Good morning, sir, we’re doing great sir
Now let’s have first an energizer to be
called THE DESERT ISLAND
You’re going to guess what it the rule. I’m (Student actively participating)
going to desert island and I’m going to
bring lemons. Share out items that you
would like to bring. If your item matches
my rule.

Checking of Attendance Checking of Attendance

- Classmate monitor, who are absents *Everyone is present sir *
today?

- okay that's good! I’m so glad that no one

is absent for today. I see that everyone
wants to learn.

Checking of Assignment Checking of Assignment

-Since we’re now done with the checking of

assignment last meeting class?
Okay, did you read and review your notes? -yes sir
Glad to hear that.
A. ELICIT (3 mins)
- Here are our objectives for today’s lesson.
*Class familiarizes the objectives
1. Describe the characteristics of star.
2. Illustrate the differences of the stars by
its color, temperature, brightness, mass
and its size
3. Reflect on how early people used
constellation.

At the end of our lesson, you will

understand what is really a star and you’re
going to illustrate or you can compare them
based on their spectral classification,
luminosity, diameter and color index and
lastly, on how does the people use
constellation back then.
Okay, did you understand?
- yes sir!

- Before we proceed let’s have first a short

review to check if you have learned
something from our previous lesson.

So, what was our last topic last meeting?

(Student raise their hand)
Yes?
- it’s all about climatic phenomena and we
relate them to climate change and global
Okay very good! warming.
And What is the connection of climate
change to global warming and to climatic (Student raise their hand)
phenomena?

- the connection of it is we can say the

Yes?
because of the gradual increase of overall
temperate, which is global warming it led to
changes of average weather of the region
and this is called climate change since it
increases the temperature of the sea and
led to El Nino and La Nina in the east pacific
area.

Okay, very good!

B. ENGAGE (5 mins)

Now I want you to close your eye for 5

seconds and imagine that were in a field
trip and looking in the sky at night.

What can you observe at the sky?

- Stars

Okay very good! Its stars

Are the stars same in size? Are the stars

same in color? Are the stars equally bright?
- No sir!
Now, when we look at night sky, we see
thousands of stars. In the reality, there are
approximately 400 billion stars in our
galaxy, and there are about 170 billion
galaxies.
A person can see only about 3,000 stars on
the average. These stars differ in many
ways. We see stars of different sizes,
brightness, and color.

In this picture, which star is bigger-Sirius or - Based on that picture sir. Sirius is
Rigel? Can you really tell the size of the star way bigger than the Rigel.
by just looking at it?

(Student listen attentively)

In this figure, shows the size of the sun, the

closest star to earth, as compared to some
other stars that we see at the night. As we
can see, the sun is so small compared to
other nearby stars. Also, Sirius, which
appear bigger than Rigel, is actually very
small compared to Rigel. It appears larger
only because it is closer to us.

What does the color of a star mean? Why

do stars differ in brightness?

What do you think class?

C. EXPLORE (20 minutes)
Before we go on that, let’s have first
another activity and this is called:
TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

The learners will sing the nursery song

“Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” while passing
- (Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I

sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I
wonder what you are)
When the singing is stop, all students that
got five stars will stand up in front and will
answer the riddle written on the star
they’ve got.
.
Riddle #1: Too much of me can be harmful
to the eyes. Sometimes I’m high and - Brightness

with letter S)

world will be plain, dull and no shades. - color

with letter R)

Riddle #3: There are times I’m hot and

there are times I’m cool. You can call me - temperature

Riddle #4: I can be big. Sometimes I am

Riddle #5: I am a property of matter. I

usually measured in grams, kilograms, or
pounds. But, I’m not weight. What am I?
(Clue: 4 letters, starts with letter M, ends - mass

How would you generalize the connection

of 5 words to the stars? Explain your
answer.
- sir, these are characteristics used to
classify stars include color,

brightness. Stars vary in their

star? Or this words that you’ve mentioned?
- Just a little sir.

Allow me to enlighten you about the

characteristics of the star.

D. Explain (15 Minutes)

Class, there are five basic characteristics of

stars, which is interrelated to each other’s.

We have the color and temperature,

brightness, size and composition.

The first one is the color and temperature.

Let’s take a look at this picture, what can
you notice?

Very good. These pictures show the

relationship between color and
temperature. If you look up in the night
sky, you can see slight differences in the - Sir the color represents a different
colors of stars. Like hot objects on Earth, a level of temperature
star’s color reveals its surface temperature.
If you watch a toaster heat up, the wires
inside glow red hot. The wires inside a light
bulb are even hotter and glow white. Stars
are the same.

The coolest stars, with a surface

temperature of about 3,000oC appear
reddish, the medium stars, with surface
temperatures over 5,000oC appear yellow
while the hottest stars, with surface
temperatures over 20,000oC appear bluish-
white.
So, let’s take a look to this picture, what do
you notice?

Very well said! The second characteristics -sir the stars are glowing
of star is brightness, so anyone what do you
mean by brightness?

Yeah, you have an idea! The brightness of a

star depends on both its size and its
temperature. How bright a star looks from
Earth depends on both its distance and
how bright the star actually is. The
brightness of a star can be described in 2
different ways: - Sir brightness means the quality or
Apparent brightness - is its brightness as state of being bright
seen from Earth.
Absolute brightness - is its brightness as
seen from Earth with same distance.

is that clear class?

Ok so let’s go to the fourth characteristics

of star which is size.
So, anyone what is size?

You have an idea. How about the others?

- Yes sir.

Ok very well said. So, when you look at

stars in the sky, they all appear to be the
same size. Many stars are actually about
the size of the sun, which is a medium-sized - Ma’am size means the relative
star. However, some stars are much larger
aggregate amount or number
than the sun. Very large stars are called
giant stars or supergiant stars. Most stars
are much smaller than the Sun. Black and
white dwarf stars are about the size of - Sir the size is related to small or big
Earth. Neutron stars are even smaller, only
about 20 km in diameter.

Is it clear class?

Good so let’s go to the last characteristics

of stars which is…?

So, what about composition

Ok very good so When stars form in the

present Milky Way galaxy, they are - Yes sir
composed of about 71% hydrogen and 27%
helium, as measured by mass, with a small
fraction of heavier elements. Typically, the - Composition
portion of heavy elements is measured in
terms of the iron content of the stellar - Sir composition means the way in
atmosphere, as iron is a common element which something put together or
and its absorption lines are relatively easy
arrange
to measure. The portion of heavier
elements may be an indicator of the
likelihood that the star has a planetary
system.

Do you have any question class?

- None sir

E. ELABORATE (3 minutes)

To deepen your understanding, we will be

going to have an activity called: STAR
CHARACRTERISTICS COMPARISON

What your going to do is your going to (Student answer may vary)

illustrate the differences of the
characteristics of the different stars
For example – the middle size star has a
surface temperature 5000 degree Celsius
and the color is yellow. I’m going to split
