A. Engagement

Class, today we will play a game and this

game entitled “Celebrity Bluff” I will group you
4 and each group will receive placards that
contains word fact and bluff, Facts means true
and bluff means false or not true have here
some trivial statement and all you have to do is
to guess the statement if it is Fact or bluff and
you will raise your placards depending on your
answer.
Is that clear? Yes, Ma’am!
(Student will start the activity.)

Expected Answers:
STATEMENTS:
FACT
Sun is a star FACT
The star nearest to earth is the sun. BLUFF
The color of the star determines its hotness and
Red is the hottest. BLUFF
The size of stars measured in Kilometer. FACT
Star is the giant ball of hot gasses. BLUFF
The stars have all same sizes and colors. FACT

The temperature of the star is based on its
color.

B. Exploration

“Now, we will perform an activity entitled:

Connect Me!” we will watch a video regarding
our topic and all you have to do is to listen and
observe because each group will be given
observation sheet to observe their designated Yes Ma’am
topic and after the video. One representative
from the group will explain their work.
Is that clear?

Your work will be rated based on the

following rubrics;

Accuracy - 40%
Behavior &
Cooperation - 20%
Delivery &
Explanation - 30%
Time Consciousness- 10% (the students will do the
TOTAL: 100% activity)

(The teacher will supervise the

students while doing the activity.)

Observation Sheet

Sizes of Stars:

What do you notice about the sizes of these

stars?
Are they have the same sizes? Why?

Brightness of Stars:
What do you notice about the brightness of
these stars?
Are they have the same brightness of the stars?
Why?

Distance of the stars:

What do you notice about the distance of these

stars?
Are they near to each other?

Color
What do you notice about the color of these
stars? “Yes ma’am.”
Do stars have the different colors?

“Are you done?”

C. EXPLAIN

“Post your output on the board for the “Yes ma’am.”

explanation and discussion. One Students will discuss and
representative per group will discuss explain their work.
and explain your work.” They will tell the connection of
the characteristics of star.

Expected Observation:
Sizes of Stars:

The stars have different sizes

No, some of the stars are bigger than
the other stars.

Brightness of Stars:

They have different brightness

No, because some of the stars are
brightest but some of them are dim.

Distance of the stars:

The stars are apart from one another.

No.
 Color
They have different color.
Yes, they have the color yellow, white
and red.

D. ELABORATION

Yes, Ma’am.
To make it more understand
Have you tried comparing the stars in a
cloudless sky at night?

Stars differ in their sizes, color and

temperature, distances from earth, and
brightness.

Stars are giant balls of hot gases. And they shine

during day and night, but mostly we see them
only in the night.

The sun is an example of a star. During the day,

it outshines other stars which are far away

Base on the observation of group 1 that stars

have different and stars measured in
“Diameters”.
Diameter is a straight line that cuts a circle
passing through the center point.

The smallest known star has a diameter of

about 20 kilometers.

The VY Canis Major- One of the largest known

star, has a diameter of 1,975,000,000
kilometers and this is more than 100 times that
of the sun.

The sun is an average size stars; it is the star

closest to earth, that is why we can see it.
The tables below show the size of some stars.

Star Size (Diameter in

Kilometers)
Sun 1,392,000
Capella 16,704,000
Acturus 36,000,000
Antares 1,200,000,000
Betelgeuse 1,400,000,000

The Earth is so small compared to the sun. the

sun is more than one million times larger than
Earth. It will take about 108 Earth arranged in a
row to fill the diameter of the sun.

Brightness of stars

Base on the group 2 the stars have different

brightness which is correct, A star which is too
far away may look dim whactually, it is very
bright.

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the

brightness of a star as seen from Earth. It is
used to describe the estimated brightness of a
star. Stars that appear to be the brightest have
an apparent magnitude of 1 while the dimmest
stars that can be seen without the help of a
telescope on a clear night have an apparent
magnitude of 6.

The table below shows a list of stars and their

apparent magnitude.
Star Apparent Magnitude
Aldebaran .85
Rigel .12
Capella .08
Sirius -1.46
Pollux 1.14
Dubhe 1.79
Shaula 1.62
Sun -26.74
Polaris 1.97

What is the brightest stars in the table?

Distance of Stars

Stars may appear to be close together when

you look at the night sky. However, they vary in
their distances from each other.

The nearest star to earth is the sun. It is about

150,000,000 kilometers away from the Earth.

If you could ride in a rocket ship that would

travel at the rate of 24,500 kilometers per hours
and suppose you could go near the sun without
getting burned, it would take you about 255
days to reach it.

Distance of stars are also measured in terms of

“light-year”.

Light-year is the distance light travels in one

year. One light-year is about ten trillion
kilometers.

The second star closest to Earth is Proxima

Centauri, which is 4.3 light-years away.

The table below shows the distances of some

stars in light-years.

Stars Distance (Light-year) Proxima Centauri

Proxima Centauri 4.3
Sirius 8.8
Vega 26
Betelgeuse 300
Deneb 1,600

What is the star nearest?

Excellent!

Color and Temperature of Stars

 The color of a star helps astronomers determine
the temperature of the star. Study the table
below.
The hottest stars are color Blue, and the
Star Color Temperature coolest is color Red.
Betelgeuse Red 3,000
Arcturus Orange 4,000
Sun Yellow 6,000
Vega White 10,000
Rigel Blue 20,000Red

What color of the star is the hottest? Coolest?

Stars is one of the most important thing

in this earth they give us light through
night and day.
Very Good!
