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 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 Greeks.
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.
Say: 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.
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
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.
It is use to locate stars. Constellations are used by astronomers to locate stars, nebulae, and
galaxies.
Discovery Learning Approach
Direction: Paste the name of constellation based on the given pictures on the board.

G.Finding Parctical application of concepts and skills in daily living.
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.
