Very Good!

In our lesson in science……………

Star = A star is a huge glowing ball

of hot gas, mainly hydrogen and
helium. The temperature is so high in
its core that nuclear fusion occurs,
producing energy.

Sun = the nearest star to Earth.

Look at the picture below:

What can you say about the picture?

Is there a formation of stars?

Answer: Yes, there is.

Do you know what call to the

formation of stars in the night sky?

Answer: It is a Constellation

Constellations = These are groups

 Page 6 of 18
of stars that form clear patterns in
the sky.

The International Astronomical

Union (IAU) made a list of the
official modern constellations.
There are 88 constellations on
the list, and many of these
constellations were discovered by
the ancient Greeks.

Ancient people first observed

these groups of stars as outlines
of animals, mythological
heroes, gods, and other
objects. And they found easier
to locate and remember
constellations when they try to
find a distinct and particular
patterns.

Say: We have many constellations

and stars but we first focus on the
Known Constellations and Stars
and the rest will be tackled on our
next discussions.

Some of the Known Constellations

and Stars

Ursa Major = It resembles a “Big Bear”

or “Great Bear” and is the third largest
constellation in the night sky. It includes
the Big Dipper, which is composed of the
seven stars: Alkaid, Alcor, and Mizar
(appear as one), Alioth, Megrez, Phecda,
Merak, and Dhube.

Ursa Minor = It is a little bear

containing a group of stars known as the
Little Dipper. The handle of the dipper
serves as the little bear’s tail and the
dipper’s cup, is the bear’s thigh. The
most famous star in the Ursa Minor is the
Polaris. Polaris is also called as the
North Star..
 Page 8 of 18

Cassiopeia = It consists of five stars

that seem to form the letter W. It
represents the queen Cassiopeia of the
mythical kingdom of Ethiopia. This is also
known as the Queen Constellation.

Cepheus = is the 27th largest

constellation in the northern sky. It is
 Page 9 of 18
faint, but its definite shape makes it easy
to locate if you look in the north on
August and September evenings. This
constellation is described as the King
Constellation.

Orion = It is one of the most

recognizable constellations in the night
sky and is visible throughout the world.
Three of its stars form its belt. Orion’s
belt is also an asterism. On Orion’s right
shoulder is a red supergiant star called
Betelgeuse. A bluish white star called
Rigel is found on Orion’s left knee. The
Orion constellation tells the Earth’s east
and west
sky. It is visible from January to March.
And it is characterized as “The
HUNTER”.

Importance of Constellation
 Page 10 of 18
1. It is use to tell directions.
Constellations are useful to
navigators. Ursa Minor, Ursa
Major, and Cassiopeia are
constellations that are used by
navigators to tell the north
direction. Polaris, found at the last
star of the handle of the Little
Dipper in the constellation Ursa
Minor, tells north. The Orion
constellation tells the Earth’s east
and west sky.

2. It is use to locate stars.

Constellations are used by
astronomers to locate stars,
nebulae, and galaxies.

Answer: Ursa Minor or the Polaris falling star or shooting star
grants wishes.
Do you believe in a shooting star
or wishing star? Why?

It is widely believed that your

wish is granted if made upon a
falling star. Scholars suggest the
practice of making wishes on
shooting stars has its origins in
the popular belief that shooting
stars appeared when the gods
 Page 14 of 18
opened heaven to peer at earth. If
you make your wish before the
shooting star disappears, the
gods may hear and grant wishes.

The word “star” in “shooting star”

or “falling star” is a bit
misleading. Technically, it’s not a
star that “shoots,” but a burning
bit of rock and dust (space debris)
that shines in the dark sky. When
meteors fall, they burn and
accelerate toward the earth, thus
earning the name of shooting
stars.

Note:
 This Lesson plan can be modified by the teacher base on the needs of the
learners.
 The teacher may make cut-out of a star.

Annotation:
 The lesson plan employs inquiry-based learning, discovery learning
approach and collaborative learning. In terms of inquiry-based learning, the
learners are allowed to think reasonably based on their observation on the
picture presented. Learners are able to discover the names of constellation
by pasting the name of the star patterns. The learners also allowed to
worked in a group. This approach (Collaborative) let the learners share what
they got about the lesson and present to the group. The lesson was
integrated across and within learning areas such as MATHEMATICS by
identifying the solid figure and the type of polygon and Values Education
by appreciating beauty of the bright night sky when they do stargaze at
night. ARTS is also integrated by letting learners connects the dots to form a
pattern of stars or constellation.
