guided by our learning outcomes.

background
C. Relate the patterns of stars in predicting cultural
beliefs.

Activity 2: Play Riddles

DIRECTION:
B. Establishing a purpose for the
lesson 1. Students need to guess for each riddle.
Engage 2. If you guess incorrectly you will lose.
I’m bright but I’m not clever
I burn but I’m not a bonfire
I sound like I’m a celebrity but I’m not famous
I twinkle but I’m not an eye
I can be seen at night but I’m not a moon
WHAT AM I?

At night they come out without being fetched and by day they
are lost without being stolen.
WHAT ARE THEY?
Why did the star go to school?

Why did the star get arrested?

C. Presenting examples/ instances

of the new lesson
Explore
Since our topic will be the stars arrangement in group in the
night sky, do you believe that stars move or are they in a
constant fixed position?

ACTIVITY 3: GRAPHING THE CONSTELLATION

This activity integrates Math and Science by teaching
students about coordinating graphing as well as the
constellations. The constellations are precisely position into
 the sky. This can be used as a constellation star map.

D. Discussing new concepts and Changing Position of Constellations during the Night
practicing new skills #1 and at Different Times of the Year
Explain

Polaris, also called the north star is one star seen from the
northern half of the earth that seems to stay in the same
place. This star found almost directly above the north
pole.

Those constellations that are nearly close to Polaris can

be seen all year from the northern half of the earth. The
reason is because the paths followed by such
constellations do not dip below the horizon. A group of
constellations appear to circle polaris due to the earths
spinning.

Constellations that are not close to Polaris seem to “rise”

and “set”, just as the sun does. These constellations can
be seen only at certain times of the year. As the earth
rotates along its orbit, it faces different parts of the sky.
That is why different groups of stars can be seen at
different times of the year.

December – February Constellations

 Canis major Cetus Eridanus Gemini Orion
Perseus Taurus

March – June Constellations

Bootes Cancer Leo Virgo Hydra

June – September Constellations

Aquila Cygnus Hercules Scorpius Lyra
Libra Ophiuchus Sagittarius

September – December Constellations

Andromeda Aquarius Pisces Aries Capricornus
Pegasus

Zodiac Interpretation
The idea of seeing the gospel message in the stars was
popularized by the writings of E.W. BULLINGER and J.A
SEISS during the 1800s.
In ancient times, people believed that constellations have
practical uses such as relating their God’s message of love,
care, blessing, and anger on the different positions of
stars in the sky. They also used constellations to keep
trackon the calendar of when to plant and harvest the
crops, for example if the constellation Orion is visible
then, the winter season is coming while the appearance of
summer triangle indicates the summer season. These
patterns allowed farmers to plan ahead for agriculture. The
constellations helped in navigation and aided sailors to
travel across the oceans by finding the Polaris or North star
E. Discussing new concepts
and practicing new skills#2 and estimating its height to figure out the north and south
latitude. This allowed the discovery of known great
civilizations and cultures.
Here is the brief outline of the usual zodiac interpretations.
Constellation Picture Interpretations
Virgo Virgin Virgin Mary
Libra Scales Sin must be paid for
Scorpios Scorpion Sin brings death
Sagittarius Archer Demonism
Capricorn Goat-fish Earth corruption
Aquarius Water pourer Living water or Noah’s flood
Pisces Fish God’s remnant
Aries Ram Sacrifice
Taurus Bull Resurrection
Gemini Twins Christ’s dual nature
Cancer Crab Gathering of redeemed
Leo Lion King
F.Developing mastery Why do we see different constellations at different times
(Leads to Formative Assessment of the year?
3)
This is because the Earth orbits around the sun from west
Elaborate
to east making the star seems to rise in the east and set in
 the west. The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes the
observed movement of the stars in the night sky while the
revolution allows the observer to see a certain part of the sky
at different months of the year. There are some
constellations in Northern and Southern Hemisphere that
varies from March to December.

ACTIVITY 4: STAR WHEEL

Try finding the constellation in this illustration. On the star
wheel, locate the constellation you want to find, then find
where it is located. With the use of yellow stars and yarn try
to maka a group of stars that is match in star wheel.

G. Finding practical applications of

concepts and skills in daily Beliefs and Practices about Constellations
living

Here in the Philippines, Filipino ancestors considered

observing the stars as guide towards making major decisions
such as selecting the right month to plant and harvest,
warning for the coming of kaingin period, and other sacrifices.
This belief was passed through generations and made every
citizen unique. The Balatik and Moroporo are among the
constellations and asterisms that were recognized in the
archipelago. The Balatik constellation appears in December.
It was used by the tribal hunters in the country to foretell the
coming of kaingin period and time for planting while other
tribes used the constellation as a reminder of the time of
sacrifices. The Moroporo was used for sea navigation and to
signal the beginning of the planting season. History reminds
people that our ancestors believed on the patterns of stars in
the sky.

Example:
shooting star represents fallen souls
