PRESENTING THE NEW LESSON
(Recap of the previous topic discussed)
Before we proceed to our discussion, who
can give a brief recap about the last topic
which was discussed to you? Yes Hazel?
Very good, now to test your
understanding
regarding
the
characteristics of stars, let’s have a simple
activity entitled “Who am I”. A series of
question will be flashed on the projector,
identify the characteristics of a star by
understanding the questions.
Sir, yesterday we have discussed all about the Sun
as star and the characteristics of stars.
Yes sir.
Are you ready?
The first question
My characteristics depends on my
surface temperature, who am I?
Sir, it is color.
Yes Mark?
Exactly.
Now moving on to the next question.
I am measured in terms of the sun’s
radius, who am I?
Sir, it is size.
Yes Aldrin?

lOMoARcPSD|41918838
Very good.
Okay, the next question.
I am the closest stars on earth, who am I?
Yes, Jamela?
Excellent.
Now, who can give an idea about
constellation?
Yes, Hazel.
Sir, it is the Sun.
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in
which a group of visible stars forms a perceived
pattern or outline, typically representing an
animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
Exactly Hazel.
ESTABLISHING A PURPOSE FOR NEW LESSON
ENGAGE
Now are you familiar with the different
constellations?
Yes, sir
Very good then, now I want you to identify
the different constellations based on the
picture I will flash.
Okay, the first picture.
Who can guess the picture?
Yes Harby?
That is correct.
Sir, it is Orion the hunter.
How about this picture?
Yes Kim?
Very good.
Now the last picture.
Sir, it is Pegasus, the winged horse.

Yes Tricia?
Exactly.
We will now discuss and understand the
patterns of the stars in the night sky and
history of constellations
Sir, that is Cancer the crab.
Now, before we proceed to our lesson, who
wants to read our objectives for this
lesson?
Yes Estiven?
At the end of 50-minute discussion at least 75% of
the student will be able to:
a. Identify the different patterns of stars
(constellations) in the night sky;
b. create a pattern of stars (constellation) with its
own name and background and;
c. relate the patterns of stars in predicting cultural
EXPLORE
`Now kindly group yourselves into two,
and this activity is called “My
Constellation”. On this activity you will
need: manila paper, colored papers, glue
(optional), and marker. Each group will
create their own pattern of stars that
resembles a constellation. Create its name
and its brief background. One presenter
will explain their output in front. As you
do the activity, please be guided with the
following Rubrics in presenting your
output (Refer appendix B).
EXPLAIN
So, based on your activity, what is your
understanding about constellations?

DEVELOPING MASTERY

recognizable pattern that is traditionally named
after its apparent form or identified with a
mythological figure.
Very good, now why do constellations
exist?
Yes Reese?
Exactly, Now do you think constellations
has significant connections in our lives?
Yes Mae Chel?
Sir, I think constellations exist because of the
pre-historic and cultural beliefs, since science
that time is not yet introduced, people mostly
relying on the sky and its formations.
Yes sir, constellations has significant
connections in our lives because some people
believe that their fate depends on the patterns of
stars. Some people uses constellations as guide
on their decision making.
That is right Mae Chel.
Let us now proceed to our discussion
proper.
ELABORATE
Constellation, in astronomy, any of
certain groupings of stars that were
imagined at least by those who named
them to form conspicuous configurations
of objects or creatures in the sky.
Many of these constellations have many
names that can be traced back to early
Babylonians and Greek civilizations, but
nearly all cultures have different names
for the constellations. For example, the
Greeks called the large constellation
Orion, which means hunter and is
prominent in the night sky all over the
world during winter. Early Filipinos
visualized the same group of stars as
Balatik, a trap used in hunting wild pigs.
Christian Filipinos named the three stars
(Orion’s Belt) Tatlong Maria or Tres
Marias.
From the earliest times the star groups
known as constellations have received
names connoting some meteorological
phenomena or symbolizing religious or
mythological beliefs.
The Alexandrian astronomer Ptolemy
(100–170 CE) adopted a very similar
scheme in naming constellations, which
appears in the seventh and eighth books
of his Almagest, the catalog being styled

lOMoARcPSD|41918838
the “accepted version.” The names and
orientation of the 48 constellations therein
adopted are, with but few exceptions,
identical with those used at the present
time. The majority of the remaining 40
constellations that are now accepted were
added by European astronomers in the
17th and 18th centuries. In the 20th
century the delineation of precise
boundaries for all the 88 constellations
was undertaken by a committee of the
International Astronomical Union.
Some of the 88 recognized constellations
in the night sky are the following:
 Ursa Major
 Ursa Minor
 Cancer
 Pegasus
 Cassiopeia
 Taurus
 Gemini
 Orion
By observing the sun’s movement and
position in the sky, we can tell what time
of the day it is. At night, the stars are used
to tell the time. Just like the sun, stars also
seem to move from east to west.
Polaris, commonly known as the North
Star, is the brightest star in the
constellation Ursa Minor (Little Dipper).
It is very close to the north celestial pole,
making it the current northern polar star.
Because it lies nearly in a direct line with
the axis of the Earth’s rotation above the
north pole, Polaris stand almost
motionless in the sky, and all the stars of
the northern sky appear to rotate around
it.
