    This lesson plan is for a 9th grade science class on the characteristics of stars. The students will discuss the apparent motions of stars in the night sky and why some constellations are only visible during certain months. They will perform activities to observe the movement of stars during the night and how different star patterns change through the year due to Earth's orbit around the sun. The lesson aims to help students infer the characteristics of stars based on what they know about the sun.

    The document discusses the characteristics of stars and constellations, and how the apparent motion of stars and constellations changes depending on the Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun.

    Constellations are patterns or groupings of stars in the sky that are used for navigation and identifying locations in the sky.

    As the Earth revolves around the sun in its orbit, different constellations become visible at different times of the year depending on the Earth's position. Some constellations are only visible during certain months.
