lesson

Yes, if you take time to study the stars for

a while, you will find out that they fall into
patterns and designs imposed by our mind.
Sky watchers during the ancient times
perceived stellar patterns and called such
patterns “constellations.”

Is anyone of you knows their horoscope?

To help you understand star and

constellations and astrology.

concepts and Before anything else. What do you mean

skills #1
Stars are huge celestial bodies made
mostly of hydrogen and helium that
produce light and heat from the churning
nuclear forges inside their cores.

There are five characteristics of stars

which are interrelated to each other. We
have the:

1. Color
2. Brightness
3. Temperature
4. Size
5. Mass

The first characteristic is the color. Look at This picture shows the relationship
this picture? What can you notice? between color and temperature. If you
look up in the night sky, you can see
slight differences in the colors of stars.

Second characteristic is the temperature. The surface temperatures of stars produce

to the least hot.

1. Bluish and white stars,

2. Yellow stars, and
3. Reddish stars.

That’s right. As you can see the surface

temperature of stars ranged from 2000 to
50 000 K.

(Student response may vary)

So now, look at this picture. What do you
 see?

The third characteristic of star is the

brightness. Anyone, what do you mean by
brightness? Brightness is the relative lightness or
darkness of a particular color, from black
(no brightness) to white (full brightness)

The brightness of a star depends on both

its size and temperature. The large star
shines brighter than a small star and the
hot star shines brighter than a cold star.
How bright a star looks from Earth
depends on both its distance and how
bright the star actually is.

Correct. The brightness of stars can be

described in two ways:
 Apparent brightness - how bright
the star appears to a detector here
on Earth.
 Luminosity (absolute brightness) -
the amount of light it emits from its
surface

Now, let’s move on to the next When you look at stars in the sky, they
characteristic of star which is the size. all appear to be the same size. Many stars
What do you mean by size? are actually about the size of the sun,
which is a medium-sized star. However,
some stars are much larger than the sun.
Very large stars are called giant stars or
supergiant stars. Most stars are much
smaller than the Sun. Black and white
dwarf stars are about the size of Earth.
Neutron stars are even smaller, only
about 20 km in diameter.

The last characteristic of star is the mass. (Student answer may vary)
What is mass?

A star’s mass is measured in terms of our

own sun, with 1 equal to the size of our
sun.
E. Discussing So, now that you learned the five
concepts and characteristics of stars. We will now
practicing new proceed to know what constellation is and
skills #2 the different constellations that appears in
the different location of the earth.

What do you call the group of stars that It is called constellation, ma’am. There
show patterns in the sky? are about 88 different constellations
across the whole sky. But no one can see
them all. This is because people in the
northern part of the world see different
 stars from people living in the south.
There are far more bright stars in the
southern skies than in the north.

Is anyone from the class knows the most

common constellations that can be seen in (Student answer may vary)
the sky?

What do you notice to this picture? The picture shows the constellation
Orion, also known as the great hunter,
which can be viewed in both the Northern
and Southern Hemispheres.

What month do this constellation usually Between the months of (late) December
appear? and (late) March.

The Constellation Orion is a large bold

hunter, standing in the sky with his arm
raised, ready to slay any creature that
comes close to him! You can form his
body by finding the famous three stars that
make up his belt.

What do you see in the picture?

The picture shows the arrangement of

stars that is called Ursa Major also known
as great bear because it stars are arranged
in such a way that they also seem to form
the outline of a great bear. This
constellation consists of seven bright
stars arranged in a pattern resembling

of the bear whereas the stars marked 5, 6

This constellation can be seen clearly in

April in summer season in the northern
part of the sky at night.

Ursa minor, ma’am.

A pole star is the constellation that can be

seen in the northern part of the sky in
July during the summer season.

What is pole star?

Is anyone of you can share something This constellation is called The Scorpio

usually visible in the summer season.

Look at this picture. What do you it is? That’s taurus, ma’am.

 Correct. The meaning of its name is “bull”
in Latin. The constellation is symbolized
by the bull’s head. It is one of the oldest
constellations. It usually observed in the
months of April and May.

Yes, ma’am.

G. Finding practical Do we see arrangement of stars or (Student response may vary)
applications of constellation in the Philippines?
concepts and
skills in daily In the Philippines, our ancient ancestors
living believed that observing the stars could help
them make important decisions such as
when to plant and harvest, when to expect
the kaingin period, and other sacrifices.
This belief was passed down through the
generations, making each citizen unique.
Among the constellations and asterisms
recognized in the archipelago are the
 Balatik and Moroporo. The Balatik
constellation appears in December. It was
used by tribal hunters in the country to
predict the arrival of the kaingin period and
the time for planting, while other tribes
used the constellation to remind them of
the time for sacrifices. The Moroporo was
used for sea navigation as well as signaling
the start of the planting season. Our
ancestors believed in the patterns of stars
in the sky, according to history.
H. Making Again, what are the five characteristics of The five characteristics of stars are:

5. Mass

Can you tell to me the relation of color to A star’s color reveals its surface

Correct. By examining the color of the

stars, we may determine their temperature.
The hottest stars, with temperatures
ranging from 10,000 K to 25, 000 K, are
blueish and white. The midsize star
appears yellow and has a surface
temperature between 6000 K and 4000 K.
And the coldest star has a surface
temperature of 3000 K, giving it a reddish
appearance.

Next. What are the ways to describe

brightness? Ma’am, the brightness of a star can be
described in 2 different ways:

 Apparent brightness - how bright

the star appears to a detector here
on Earth.
 Luminosity (absolute brightness)
- the amount of light it emits from
its surface
Next characteristic is Size. Some stars are
much larger than the sun.

So, what do we call to very large stars?

Ma’am the very large stars are called
giant stars or supergiant stars. Most stars
are much smaller than the Sun. Black and
white dwarf stars are about the size of
Earth.

The last characteristics of stars is the mass.

In this part, you only need to remember
that more massive a star is the hotter its
surface.
 Next. What are the most common
arrangement of stars that we can easily Ma’am those common arrangement of
seen in the night sky? stars are the Orion, Ursa Major and Ursa
minor, and Scorpio.

So, at the end of the tail of Ursa Minor is a

very important star of average brightness, It is the pole star, ma’am.
which is called?

Yes, pole star or pole star constellation. It

can be seen in the northern part of the sky
in July during the summer season.
