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?

Do you know what is

called the formation of
stars in the night sky?
It is a Constellation
Constellations
= These are
groups 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
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.
 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..
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 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”.
Discovery Learning Approach

Direction: Paste the name of

constellation based on the given
pictures on the board.
Importance of Constellation

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.
Group Activity

Group 1: Match Me!

Directions: Match the name of the
constellations in column A to its
corresponding resemblance in column
B. Write the letter of your answer on
the space provided before each
number.
Group 2: Word Hunt!
How many star patterns do
you know? Find them in the
puzzle. The words can be seen
either horizontally, vertically
or diagonally. Encircle the
words.
Group 3: Form It!
Connect the dots to form a certain pattern of a
constellation and identify what constellation it is.

Groupwork Standard:
In doing the activities,
please be mindful of the
standards as follow;
S = Support each other’s ideas and contributions.
H = Help one another and foster respect to each
members.

Why constellations are important
to human?

Answer: Because constellations

help human when they navigate
and also help astronomers to
locate the stars.
If you were to travel or
navigate the northern part of
the Earth, which Constellation
or star will you look?

Answer: Ursa Minor or the

Polaris
Do you believe in a shooting
star or wishing star? Why?
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.
