PRELIMINARIES Good morning, Class! Good morning, Ma’am

Mosca!
You may take your seats. Let us first have the
attendance, say “twinkle!” if your name is
called.

Alright settle down now.

ELICIT You have discussed the basic constellations in

the night sky in your previous discussion. Now,
I need 5 volunteers to match these
constellations to their correct names.

1. Answers:
1. Sagittarius= Archer
2. Aquarius= water
2. bearer
3. Leo= lion
4. Pegasus= winged
horse
5. Cassiopeia= “W”
3. shape/ queen sitting to
her throne

Now that you were able to identify the

constellations, what does each constellation
portrays?
Aside of learning about the basic concepts of
constellations, you have said that stars seem to
ENGAGE follow you at night whenever you go for a
stroll, is it true? Why does it seem so?

Class, have you noticed that at every night

whenever you take a glance at the night sky, the
 stars that are visible by 7 pm seems to be in a
different location by 12 midnight? Have you
tried to observe it?

Now, how about the visibility of constellations?

Do you think the same set of constellations
appear throughout the year? Why yes or no?

Alright! Since you have given me your ideas,

our topic for today will focus on “The
apparent motions of stars during the night
and the visible constellations in a year.”

Earlier, you have said that stars seem to follow

you around when you are having a stroll, or at
certain nights some constellations don’t appear
or it changes its location.
EXPLORE
Group Activity: Shine differently!
Direction: The class will be divided into 3
groups (count-off 1-3) and each group will be
given a different activity to work on for 5
minutes.

EXPLAIN 1. Compare the position of the constellation 1. When you observe

“Virgo” in the sky. What do you notice?
the constellation
Virgo - or any other
constellation - at
different times during
the night, you're
actually seeing the
effects of Earth's
rotation on its axis.
 At 7 PM, Virgo
might be just rising in
the east. This is
because, from our
viewpoint on Earth,
 the stars and
constellations appear
to rise in the east and
set in the west, much
like the Sun and the
Moon do. This is due
to the west-to-east
rotation of the Earth.
 By 11 pm, Virgo will
have moved across
the sky due to the
Earth's rotation.
Depending on the
time of year and your
location, it might be
directly overhead or
towards the southern
part of the sky.
 By 5 AM, Virgo will
be setting or may
have already set in
the west. Again, this
is due to the rotation
of the Earth. As Earth
continues to rotate,
the stars and
constellations that
were visible earlier in
the night move out of
view, and new ones
become visible in the
east.

from east to west. This is why, if you were to
sit and watch the sky for several hours, you
would notice the stars changing position,
moving in an arc across the sky. A constellation
that is just rising in the east at 7 PM will move
higher in the sky by 11 PM. By midnight, it
will be near its highest point in the sky, and by
dawn, it will be setting in the west.

March but not in September? (vice- Revolution around the

constellations depends on
the Earth's position in its
orbit around the Sun and
the tilt of the Earth's axis.
In March, the Earth is in
a different position
compared to September,
leading to the visibility
of different
constellations.

The tilt of the Earth's axis also plays a role. As highlighted and so as

sky to change throughout the year.

In March, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the

Sun to be in the northern hemisphere of the
sky, which means that constellations in the
southern hemisphere are more visible. On the
other hand, in September, the tilt of the Earth's
axis causes the Sun to be in the southern
hemisphere of the sky, making constellations in
the northern hemisphere more visible.

So, the visibility of constellations in March and

September differs because of the Earth's
position in its orbit around the Sun and the tilt
of the Earth's axis, which cause different parts
of the sky to be visible during these months.

Any questions? None so far, Ma’am!

ELABORATE Since you don’t have any questions, I will be

the one to ask.

1. Do you think, does the Earth’s orbit and the

revolution affect the kind of constellations that
are visible in the night sky in different times of
the year?

2.Why do stars seem to be in motion

throughout the night?

3.Why do we see different constellations at

different times of the year?

4. Just like stars, how can the absence of certain

constellations in some months teach us to
appreciate and value the people and
experiences that are present in our lives right
now?

year.

2. The Earth orbits on its own path causing change

in position of star at night time .

3. Orion is a winter constellation, and it's not visible

in the summer months because during that time, it's
only visible during the day when the Sun's light
makes it impossible to see.

4. Stars visible at 7:00 pm would still be seen by

11:00 pm in its “original position” in the east.

5. The visibility of constellations depends on the

Earth's position in its orbit around the Sun and the
tilt of the Earth's axis.

EXTEND Study for the long quiz.
