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
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.
 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.
Discovery Learning Approach

Direction: Paste the name of

constellation based on the given
pictures on the board.
 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”.
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

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.
I = Include everyone in the group and value each
other’s opinions.
N = Never give up, even if the task is
challenging
E = Encourage yourselves and learn from both
successes and setbacks.

SHINE like a Star.

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?
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 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.
