Motivation
Class I prepared an activity for you. I will
divide you into two groups. As you can see,
there are 6 dots at the left side and another 6
dots at the right side of the board. What you
are going to do is simply
form an imaginary outline or pattern,
representing an animal or any object using
that dots. Yes Sir!
Is it clear?
Lesson proper
Our topic for today is about constellations.
First is we are going to defined what
costellations is.
Ms. Deguzman can you read the meaning of A group of stars that form a pattern in the sky.
constellation?
Alright!
So meaning to say constellation is the group of
stars form an imaginary outline or pattern,
typically representing an animal, mythological
person or creature, a god, or an inanimate
object.
There are a total of 88 constellations—defined
by IAU (International Astronomical Union) in
1928.
The stars in the same constellation are usually

not physically close to each other.
Some constellations can only be seen in

certain seasons. Students will give their different answers
Why?
– Ex. Orion (we can’t see in the
summer because the northern
hemisphere faces Orion during (Students will analyze the picture)
the day) - Due to Earth’s revolution around the Sun, we look at

than those in the summer? -The Portion of Sky We See Depends on Where We Are On
(Teacher will explain the diagram) Earth—Northern Hemisphere.
Now Let’s take a look at some constellations!

Now, for a tour of the seven major Cassiopeia Orion
constellations. Cygnus Ursa major
What are those? Scorpius Ursa minor
(Explain the seven major constellation in a Draco
PowerPoint presentation)
Ok, now let’s move on to the Zodiac
Constellation? (Students will give their answer)
(Ask the Students their Zodiac Sign)
Thank you!
Now let’s move on to the Zodiac Constellation
in the celestial bodies.
There are 13 zodiac constellations. Aries Sir!
Can you give me one? Libra Sir!
Good! What else?

(Give farther explanation about the uses of  The constellations had uses in ancient times. They

was very important so that people knew when to
plant and harvest crops.
 Another important use for constellations was
navigation. By finding Ursa Minor it is fairly easy to
spot the North Star (Polaris). Using the height of
the North Star in the sky, navigators could figure
out their latitude helping ships to travel across the
oceans.
B. Generalazation A group of stars that form a pattern in the sky.
Okay class what is Constellation again?

season?
Good! 13 Zodiac Constellations Sir!
How many Zodiac Constellations are there in
the celestial bodies?
Good!
C. Evaluation
Class please brings out ½ sheet of paper. What
you are going to do is simply construct your
own constellations.
D. Valuing
Okay class. If we connect our discussion in our
personal life What are the lessons that we
could learn??
All your answers are correct! (Students will Give their answers)
Another thing is that like stars in the sky that
have different shapes, distance and very far
from each other but still they are connected in
the form of constellation, as human being
even we have different orientation, culture,
tradition, religion etc. we are all connected.
We cannot leave in our own. We need
someone, we need somebody for us to
survive.
E. Assignment
In your assignment. Enumerate the 88
constellation.
