 GETTING STARTED!
Have you ever tried stargazing
at night? Can you describe
what you’ve seen in the night sky?

EXPLORE!
If you want to try stargazing, the best place
where to start is wherever you are!
At home or a nearby park is great.
Stargaze when there is no moonlight and the sky
isn’t cloudy. You can use binoculars of you have,
if none, you can use your naked eyes. Keep a notebook
with you and draw what you see in the sky and to keep
a record of your sightings. Bring a sibling, or parent
along when you go stargazing.

THINK DEEP!
The Sun is the star that you can see during the day.
Think of anything that you can see in the sky at night.
You can see stars and moon in the night sky.

The Night Sky

➢ Your part of Earth faces away from the sun at night.

➢ You can see stars in the sky.
➢ A star is a ball of burning gases that gives off light
and heat.

➢ The stars are different colors.
➢ They are different in sizes.
➢ Most stars look small because they are far away.
➢ On a clear night, it looks like there are more stars
than you can count.

Constellations

➢ Long ago, people saw shapes in some groups of stars.

They connected the stars with imaginary lines
to form pictures.
➢ A group of stars that forms a picture is a constellation.
➢ Many constellations are name for animals or people.

This constellation
looks like a lion.
It is called Leo.
This constellation
looks like a hunter
holding a club.
It is called Orion.

Look at these two

constellations. They are
called the Big Dipper
and the Little Dipper.

The Moon

➢ The moon looks like the biggest and brightest object

in the night sky.

Why does the moon seem to change?

➢ The moon rotates just like Earth.
➢ The moon moves around Earth, while earth moves
around the Sun.
➢ It takes about 4 weeks for the moon to move all the way
around the Earth.
➢ The moon seems to change shape as it moves.
➢ Sometimes, the moon looks round. It is called a full moon.
➢ Sometimes you see smaller parts of the moon.

➢ Sometimes you cannot see the moon at all.
➢ Remember that the moon reflects light from the sun.
➢ You only see part of the moon that has light shining on it.
➢ The shape of the lighted part of the moon is called a phase.

EXPLORE!
Activity 1
You can create a Cookie Moon Phases at home!
What you will need is a cookie with frosting,
popsicle stick/spoon or other tool for scraping
the frosting.
1. Slowly twist the Oreo/cookie to maximize
the amount of frosting on one side.
Page 5 of 10 DPS PROPERTY Module 6 | Science 2
 2. After twisting, hopefully most of the frosting
will be on one side or the other. You can always
transfer frosting if needed.
3. Use the popsicle stick to create the phases
of the moon out of the frosting.
See the sample picture of the activity below:

Lesson 2: The Solar System

OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson,

you will able to identify objects
make up a solar system.
YOU WILL DISCOVER:
What objects make up the solar system
Page 7 of 10 DPS PROPERTY Module 6 | Science 2
 KEY TERMS:
Solar System, Orbit, Planet, Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
GETTING STARTED!
Earth is a planet. You live on Earth.
A planet is a large, round body of rock or gas
that moves around the Sun.
This movement is called an orbit.
An orbit is a path around another object.
Other planets orbit the sun too.

The Solar System

➢ The sun, the planets, and their moons, and other objects
that move around the sun make up a solar system.
➢ The sun is the center of our solar system.
➢ All of the objects in the solar system orbit the sun.
Module 6 | Science 2 If you want to be trusted, be HONEST. Page 8 of 10
Look at the other planets that move around the sun.
Count them. How many planets are there?

Mars

Neptune

Earth Jupiter Saturn

Mercury Venus
Uranus

• Mercury - I is the closest planet to the sun.

• Venus - It is the hottest planet in the solar system.
• Earth - This is the only place where life is known
to currently exist.
• Mars - Mars is very cold and dry but water exists
in form of ice at the North and South poles.
• Jupiter - It is the largest planet of the Solar System.
• Saturn - Saturn is the second largest planet
and is known for its rings
• Uranus - Uranus is a blue planet, not because of water,
but because of gases that make it appear
blue.
• Neptune - furthest planet from the sun.
