D.E. Discussing

New Skills #1 work.)
Thank you Group 1 ,2 and 3 for that very
comprehensive discussion.

F. Discussing (Discuss further and add additional information to the

New class)
Concepts  Earth rotates on its axis, this makes most
constellations appear to rise in the east and set
and
in the west during the night.
Practicing  There is a group of stars that appear in the sky
New Skills all night long and all year long. It seems that
#2 these stars do not rise and set, but circle the
Earth’s North Pole each night. These stars are
called circumpolar.
 The shapes you see all depend on your point of
view.
 There are 88 accepted constellations listed by
the International Astronomical Union (IAU)
 Discuss the 15 Famous constellation.

1. Aquarius the Water Bearer

2. Aries the Ram
3. Cancer the Crab
4. Capricornus the Sea Goat
5. Draco the Dragon

Activity: SKY FULL OF STARS!

MATERIALS:
1. Manila Paper
2. Bond Papers
3. Marker
4. Tape

DIRECTIONS:
- Each group will be given an activity sheet. The general instruction is indicated in the activity sheet
given. Each member of the group will participate.
- This activity is good for 10 minutes only.
- You can use your mobile phones to search on the internet for the reference.

GROUP 1
1. Describe what is a star
2. Discuss its Characteristics
3. Each member will contribute

GROUP 2
1. Explain what is constellation?
2. Each member will contribute

GROUP 3
1. Identify the 3 constellations of stars observed in Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
2. Give a brief description of each constellation.
3. Each member will contribute
Group 1
- A star is a natural luminous body visible in the sky especially at night
- Stars are the most widely recognized astronomical objects. It represents the most fundamental
building blocks of galaxies.
- Scientists believe that all stars came from huge clouds of gas and dust called nebulae.
- The color of the star indicates its surface temperature. Blue is the color of the hottest star.
- The brightness of a star as observed from the Earth relies upon two variables distance and the
actual brightness (absolute brightness of the star)
- In general the more massive a star is the hotter its surface

Group 2
 A constellation is a group of stars that make an imaginary shape in the night sky.
 They are usually named after mythological characters, people, animals and objects.
 In different parts of the world, people have made up different shapes out of the same groups of
bright stars.
 It is like a game of connecting the dots.
 In the past creating imaginary images out of stars became useful for navigating at night and for
keeping track of the seasons.
Group 3

Constellation in Northern Hemisphere

1. CASSIOPEIA is a constellation and asterism in the northern sky named after the vain queen
Cassiopeia, mother of Andromeda, in Greek mythology, who boasted about her unrivaled beauty.

2. ARIES is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It is located in the Northern celestial hemisphere
between Pisces to the west and Taurus to the east. The name Aries is Latin for ram.

3. URSA MAJOR, also known as Great Bear,is the third largest of the known constellations.Nobody
really knows when it was first identified, because it was already well-known by the 2nd century,
included by the astronomer Ptolemy in his list of constellations.
Constellation in Southern Hemisphere

1. CANIS MAJOR contains Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. It’s found in the Southern
Hemisphere during the summer or the Northern Hemisphere in winter. In the version of events
where Canis Major represents the Teumessian fox, Canis Major is believed to represent Laelaps,
Zeus’ speedy dog.

2. GRUS. This constellation was invented by Pieter Dircksz Keyser, a navigator who joined the first
Dutch expedition to the East Indies in 1595 and who added 12 new constellations in the southern
skies.

3. HYDRUS constellation lies in the southern hemisphere. Its name means “the male water snake” in
Latin. Hydrus is also known as “the lesser water snake,” the counterpart to the larger Hydra
constellation, from which it is separated by the constellations Eridanus and Orion, and by the Milky
Way. Hydrus lies between the two Magellanic Clouds, between Eridanus and the south celestial
pole.
