-What are the constellations you know?
Activity 2
Name, Explain and Draw
- The class will be divided into four groups. Each group shall

be provided with its respective instructions and rubrics. (Please
see the attached activity sheets and rubrics.)
- After the given time allotment, a representative from each group
will present their output in the class. The representative is given
2-3 minutes to present/explain their group’s output.
 Constellations are group or patterns of stars in the night sky.
 The constellations you see depend on your location, date, and time.
 Stars in the northern hemisphere appear to rotate around Polaris (the
north star).
 The constellations had uses in ancient times. They were used to help
keep track of the calendar. This was very important so that people
knew when to plant and harvest crops.
 The Polaris is used in navigation because it does not change its
position at any time of the night year. This allowed sailors to find
their way as they sail across the seas.
- The teacher will show a short video presentation on how the early
civilizations use constellations in their daily living.
