the lesson
 B. Establishing a purpose for
the lesson

In the video we watched, it discusses about stars

and constellations. So today, we are further study
them.
 C. Presenting
Examples/Instances of the
lesson

What is star?
A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held
together by its own gravity. The nearest star to
Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to
the naked eye at night, but their immense
distances from Earth make them appear as fixed
points of light.
Stars are formed from clouds
of gas and dust in space.
These clouds collapse under
their own gravity, and as they
do, they heat up.
 C. Presenting
Examples/Instances of the
lesson

Eventually, the temperature at the

center of the cloud becomes hot
enough for nuclear fusion to begin.
Nuclear fusion is a process in which
two or more atomic nuclei combine
to form a new nucleus, releasing a
large amount of energy in the
process.
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. The origins of the earliest
constellations likely go back to prehistory.
Constellations are useful in assisting
astronomers and navigators to locate
certain stars. For example, the
constellation Orion is home to the bright
stars Betelgeuse and Rigel, as well as the
Orion Nebula.
 C. Presenting
Examples/Instances of the
lesson

There are 88 officially recognized

constellations, and they are divided into
three main groups: the zodiac
constellations, the northern
constellations, and the southern
constellations.
The zodiac constellations are the 12
constellations that lie along the
ecliptic, the path that the Sun
appears to take across the sky over
the course of a year.
 The northern constellations are the
constellations that can be seen from the
Northern Hemisphere.
 The southern constellations are the
constellations that can be seen from the
Southern Hemisphere.
 Constellations are a fascinating
part of astronomy, and they have
been used for centuries to help
people understand the night sky.
Here are some of the most
famous constellations:
 Ursa Major: The big dipper, with
the seven bright stars that make up
the shape of a dipper.
This constellation is visible
throughout the year, but can be
clearly seen every April 9 pm

Asterism is recognizable group of

stars in a constellation
 The Ursa Minor or “The Little
Bear” is another constellation in
northern Hemisphere. It is known
for its star Polaris or the northern
star.

The seven stars in Ursa Minor

form an asterism know as “The
Little Dipper.” Ursa Minor is
visible all throughout the year but
can be clearly seen every 9 pm of
June.
 Orion: Also known “The Great
Hunter”, consists of the bright
stars Betelgeuse and Rigel.

“Orion’s belt” it its asterism

formed by the alignment of three
stars. Orion is visible in the night
sky from November to February,
but it can be clearly seen every
January
 Cassiopeia (The
Queen) is visible all
throughout the year but
is best seen every
November at 9 pm. It
has a W-shaped
asterism consisting of
five stars.
 The Crux (Southern
Cross) is constellation
in the Southern
Hemisphere. It is the
smallest among the 88
constellations. Crux is
visible from March to
May, but it can be
clearly seen every 9 pm
of May.
 The Crux (Southern
Cross) is constellation
in the Southern
Hemisphere. It is the
smallest among the 88
constellations. Crux is
visible from March to
May, but it can be
clearly seen every 9 pm
of May.
 The Polar Constellation
There are some constellations that can be seen only during
certain seasons of the year. These are called North Polar
Constellations and South Polar Constellations. The
constellations nearest the center of the circle can be seen
throughout the year.
The people living in the Northern Hemisphere see
constellations different from those living in the Southern
Hemisphere.

Constellation in the Zodiac
There are constellations at which the sun
seems to pass through as the earth revolves
around the sun. these are the Zodiac
Constellations.
Constellation Appearance in the night Sun’s appearance in the
sky (visible) front of each constellation
Aries “The Ram” March and April March 21-April 19
Taurus “The Bull” April and May 4/20-5/20
Gemini “The Twins” May and June 5/21-6/21
Cancer “The Crab” June and July 6/22-7-22
Leo “The Lion” July and August 7/23-8/22
Virgo “The Virgin” August and September 8/23-9/22
Libra “The Scales” September and October 9/23-10/22
Scorpio “The Scorpion” October and November 10/23-11/21
Sagittarius “The Archer” November and December 11/22-12/21
Capricorn “The Sea Goat” December and January 12/22-1/19
Aquarius “The Water January and February 1/20-2/18
Bearer”
Pisces “The Fishes” February and March 2/19-3/20
Please note that these are just general
guidelines. The exact dates and times
of visibility will vary depending on
your location and the time of year.
Usefulness of Constellations
Since ancient times, constellations are always helpful
to people. They used the appearance of certain stars to
forecast the weather. When stars are visible, they
expect fair weather. But, when stars are hidden behind
the clouds, the next day, may be cloudy or rainy.
Constellations are helpful to navigators, too.
Navigators use their knowledge in astronomy in the
conduct of their work. When the navigators are lost at
sea, they refer to Polaris, which is in Ursa Minor. They
use Polaris as their guiding star. Polaris is a fixed star.
It is located at the North. By using Polaris, it is easy to
find south, east, and west directions
What are some local myths and folklore about
stars:

In the Philippines, there is a myth that the stars

are the souls of people who have died. The
brighter the star, the more virtuous the person
was in life.

 G. Finding practical
applications of concepts and
skills in daily living

There are many practical

applications of star patterns
that can be seen at particular
times of the year. Some of these
applications include:
Navigation: Star patterns can be used
to navigate in the night sky. This was a
common practice for sailors and
travelers in the past, and it is still used by
some people today.
Timekeeping: Star patterns can be used to
keep track of time. This was also a common
practice in the past, and it is still used by
some people today, especially in rural areas
where there is no access to electricity.
 Astronomy: Star patterns
can be used to study astronomy.
This includes learning about
the different constellations, the
planets, and the stars.
 Culture: Star patterns have also been
used in culture. For example, some
cultures use star patterns to tell stories or
to predict the future.
In addition to these practical applications,
star patterns can also be enjoyed for their
beauty and mystery. Stargazing is a popular
activity in the Philippines, and it is a great
way to relax and connect with nature.
 H. Making Generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson

The Philippines is located in the tropics, which means

that it is close to the equator. This means that the stars in
the night sky are visible for a longer period of time than
in other parts of the world. The following are some of the
star patterns that can be seen at particular times of the
year in the Philippines:
 H. Making Generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson

Orion: This constellation is visible in the

Philippines from October to May. It is one of the
most easily recognizable constellations in the night
sky. Orion is made up of seven bright stars, which
form the shape of a hunter.
 H. Making Generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson

Pleiades: This constellation is visible in the Philippines from December

to May. It is also known as the "Seven Sisters" or the "Tres Marias."
The Pleiades are a group of seven young stars that are located about 440
light-years from Earth.
Southern Cross: This constellation is visible in the Philippines from May
to September. It is one of the most important constellations in the
Southern Hemisphere. The Southern Cross is made up of four bright
stars that form a cross shape.
 H. Making Generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson

Milky Way: The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy that

contains billions of stars. It is visible in the
Philippines all year round, but it is best seen
during the summer months when the skies are
clear.
 H. Making Generalizations
and abstractions about the
lesson

In addition to these well-known constellations, there

are many other star patterns that can be seen in the
Philippine night sky. With a little patience and a
clear sky, you can enjoy the beauty of the stars and
learn more about the night sky.

 J. Additional Activities for application
and remediation

Assignment:

Ask your family members to have stargazing. Go

outside on a clear night to look up at the stars. You can
use a star chart to help you identify the constellations.
Then relate your family experience during stargazing.
-what have you feel
-what have you learned
 Reflection: Life Lesson
• The saying "the darker the night, the
brighter the stars" is a metaphor for the
idea that challenges and difficulties can
make us stronger and more resilient.
When we are faced with adversity, we can
choose to give up or to persevere.
 Reflection: Life Lesson
• If we choose to persevere, we will often find that
we are stronger and more capable than we ever
thought possible. The stars in the night sky
represent our potential and our ability to
overcome challenges. When the night is dark, the
stars shine even brighter. This is a reminder that
even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
