ACTIVITY 1: MY COLORFUL STARS!
*Attached the activity sheet*
EXPLAIN (15 minutes)
>Students will present their work to the class.
Guide questions
1.Which among the stars in the list are the
coolest? Select 2 of them. What color do they
have? Betelgeuse and Antares, color red
2. Which among the stars in the list are the
hottest? Select 2 of them. What color do they Spica and Beta, color blue
have?
3. Compare our Sun with polaris. What are their
similarities and differences? Sun and polaris are both yellow stars, polaris
is only hotter by 300°C
4. What are the relationship of a star's color and The coolest stars are red and the hottest stars
star's temperature? are blue.
>The teacher will discuss the topic thoroughly.
Are the stars same in color? And temperature?
No
When we look at the night sky, we see thousands
of stars. In reality, there are approximately 400
billion stars in our galaxy, and there are about
170 billion galaxies. A person can see only about
3,000 stars on the average.
What is Star?
A star is a massive ball of plasma that emits
light throughout the universe.
The sun is the brightest star on earth because it is
the closest star to us
The color of the star indicates it's surface
temperature. Blue is the color of the hottest
star and red is the color of coolest star.
ELABORATE (15 minutes)
Are the stars same in color? No
What makes the star different in color? Stars are different in color because of their
surface temperature.
What does the color blue star mean?
Bluer appearance is the hottest star
How about color red? And how about color
yellow? Red is the coolest and yellow is mid ranges
star.
