A. Preparation
1. Motivation
Okay class, this morning we are going to
have an activity but before that I will group
you first into four. I have here four envelopes.
Each envelope contains scrambled pictures.
All you have to do is to arrange these
scrambled pictures to its original form. Yes ma’am
Am I clear class?
Group one, what picture did you form? The picture we’ve form is a red star.
Very good!!!
Group two, what picture did you form? The picture we’ve form is a blue color
Very good!!! star.
How about the group three? What picture
did you form?
Very good!!! The picture we’ve form is an orange
Group four, what picture did you form? star.
b. Statement of the Aim
This morning we will learn about The picture we’ve form is a star with
yellow color.
 different characteristics of stars.
B. Presentation
I have here a video presentation about
our topic and I want you to watch and listen
carefully as I present to you the video because
I am going to ask you some questions
afterwards.
Am I clear class?
(the teacher present the video)
How did the scientists classify stars?

Yes very good! The stars differ in their sizes, Yes ma’am
colors and temperature, distance from Earth,
and brightness.
Stars are giant balls of hot gases. They The scientists classify stars by their

during the night. The sun is an example of a
star. During the day, it outshines other stars
which are far away in space.
Why is it that the sun outshines other stars
during daytime?
Excellent!!!
The sizes of the stars are measured in
diameters. The smallest known star has a
diameter of about 20 kilometers. The VY
Canis Major, one of the largest known stars,
has a diameter of 1,975,000,000 kilometers.
This is more than 100 times that of the sun. The sun outshines other stars during
What do we call the largest known star? daytime because it is the star closest to
Earth that is why we can see it.

Base on the video, what are the two ways

to discuss the brightness of a star?

Excellent! The apparent magnitude is a

measure of the brightness of a star as seen
from Earth, while absolute magnitude talks
about how bright the stars is, depending on
how much light it produces. The largest known star is the VY Canis
Again, what is the difference between Major.
apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?

Very good!!! The two ways to discuss the brightness

while absolute magnitude talks about how
Excellent!!! bright the stars is, depending on how much
light it produces.
C. Generalization
What are the four properties we can use to
classify stars?

What is the closest star from Earth?

D. Application
This time we are going to have another
activity but before that I am going to group
you first into four. I have here four manila
papers and four envelopes. Each envelope
contains 5 pictures of a star with different
colors. I want you to arrange these pictures
from coolest to hottest star then after that
label its name. Am I clear class?

The hottest star is color blue which is

the Rigel and the coolest star is color red
which is the Betelgeuse.

IV. Evaluation
