A. Preliminary Activities
Prayer
Good morning grade five students, today we are going
to an adventure. Can you guess where are we going? To the outer space Sir!

Yes, we are going to travel in the outer space. Are you

ready? Yes, Sir!

Let’s get on board.

Before heading outside the world, Let us all pray first

for our safety, Ms. Annie can you lead the prayer? Let’s bow our head and lets us pray.
Our heavenly Father we thank you for this another
blessing and day from evil. Give us wisdom and
knowledge for our today’s lesson.
Amen.
Amen.

Greetings
Good morning again class! Good morning, sir!

Before heading again outside the world, taking your sit

kindly pick up those pieces of trash on the floor and then
arrange your chairs properly.

 B. Review
Before we proceed to our new lesson let’s have a short
recap to our lesson last meeting, who can tell me what
was our lesson all about? Our topic last Friday is all about climate change.

That’s right, now what is a climate change? Yes Shaira? Climate change refers to long term shifts in Earths
weather patterns, often resulting in rising temperature
and various impact on ecosystem, caused primarily by
human activities such as burning fossil fuels and
deforestation.
Correct! Climate change is making the Earth warmer
because of the things people do, like using cars and making
too much pollution. We can help by using less energy and
being kinder to our planet, like planting trees and recycling.

Motivation
To give you a hint on our next topic, we are diving into
an exciting activity. I have got a super fun game to get
us ready for our next topic! We are going to play
"Connecting the Dots." Here is how it works: I have
prepared materials with dots that, when connected, form
constellations. You'll each receive one and have three
minutes to connect the dots following the image
attached to your working materials. It's all about
visualizing patterns and making connections! The group
that will finish first will get a reward. Get ready to
connect the stars and explore the mysteries of
constellations! (All students will participate in the activity)

Very good class! Those image that you visualize will

help us understand our next topic.

C. Discussion
For today’s lesson we will tackle “The Constellation”
and we will discuss the different forms of constellation.

I have three questions for you:

1. How many stars can you see in the sky at night and
can you count them? No, Sir!

It is impossible for us to count them, but there are

simply thousands of them in the sky.

2. Have you tried stargazing at night? Yes, Sir!

Yes, some of you have tried, some of you may not have.
When we do stargaze, we can create shapes and
patterns.

3. What are these star patterns called? Do you have any Constellation, Sir!
idea what these star patterns are called?

Yes, they are called constellations.

Sir!
Who can read what is Constellations?
The term "constellation" is derived from the Latin words
Yes, Chester? "Con," which means together, and "stella," which means
star.

Indeed, a constellation is a group of stars that appear to

form a pattern in the sky.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has made

a list of the official modern constellations. There are 88
constellations on the list, and many of them were
discovered by the ancient Greeks.

Here are some of the 88 constellations:

The First one is the Ursa Major

The third-largest constellation, which contains the group

Can you read the definition of Ursa Major Novie? of stars called the Big Dipper.

Very good, Novie. Ursa Major is also known as the Big

dipper or the Big bear

The second one is the Ursa Minor. Who can tell me Sir?
what Ursa Minor consist of?

It contains a north star called Polaris, the brightest star

Yes, Hannah. in the constellation.

Good job, Hannah. It is also the smaller version of Ursa

Major, the Little Bear or Little Dipper

The Third one is the Virgo commonly known as The

Maiden. Who can read the definition of the Virgo? Sir!

Please try Shaira. This constellation can be seen in spring and summer in
the northern hemisphere and autumn and winter in the
southern hemisphere.

Correct Shaira.

The fourth one is the Orion. What is the characteristics

of the Constellation Orion? Sir!

Yes, Alvin? It has three stars on its belt.

Precisely, Orion also represents the giant hunter in
Greek mythology.

The fifth one is Aquarius. When and where can you see Sir!
the Aquarius constellation?

Yes, Dianne. It is visible in the fall in the northern hemisphere and

spring in the southern hemisphere.

Good job, Aquarius is also known as The Water Bearer

The sixth constellation is Aries also called as The Ram.

Is Aries can be seen all year round? No, Sir!

Who can give me the reason? Sir!

Yes, Annie Claire Because it can only be seen in the northern hemisphere
during late winter and early spring.

Precisely!

Let’s move to the seventh constellation which is the

Pegasus. Who can give me the other known name of
Pegasus Constellation? Sir!

It is also called as the winged Horse, Sir.

Yes, Joe!

Exactly, it is only visible from the month of August to

December.

The eighth constellation in our list is the Draco

Constellation and often as the Dragon. Where can we
Sir!
this constellation?

Yes, Salvador? It is an ordered circular constellation that is visible at

latitudes between 90 degrees and negative 15 degrees.

Very good, Salvador

Last Constellation in our list is the Cassiopeia or often

called as The Queen of Ethiopia. Now where and when
can we see this constellation? Sir!

Yes, Patrick! It can be seen in the northern hemisphere all year.

Good job!
Now that we have discuss some of the constellation
listed by the IAU, lets now proceed to the uses of these
constellations,

Uses of these constellations:

1. They provide directions, tell time, and predict
weather.
2. They also help track artificial satellites and locate
certain stars.

Before the invention of the compass, stars were also

very useful to people, especially in navigating when
sailing across the ocean. During ancient times, when the
compass was not yet invented, people used
constellations to navigate sails across the oceans.
Constellations provide directions and tell time.
Calendars were also not invented in ancient times. For
example, when the constellation Pegasus appears in the
sky, it means it's already August, and when it
disappears, it means it is the month of January because
Pegasus is only visible from August to December.

And that ends our discussion, any question?

None, Sir!

Are you sure?

Yes, Sir!
Very good!

D. Generalization
Okey lets walk through the discussion again. How many
Sir!
constellation was listed by the IUA?
88, Sir!
Yes, Aima?

Very good!

Which of the constellation is seen only from month of

Sir!
August to December?

Yes, Aiza!
The Pegasus Constellation, Sir!
Good job!

For you to remember what is constellation, the NASA

sent us a letter and let’s put it into a song. (Twinkle-
Twinkle little Star Tune)
(The students will sing the song)
Constellation in the Sky
Group of Stars we see at night
Some looks man, lady-like,
Objects, animals see at night
Constellation oh so bright,
Visible on moonless night
(2x)

E. Application

Activity: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

(The students will do the role playing)
1. In the same group, the class are tasked to present
 a role playing regarding the uses of the
constellations and present it for after 10 minutes.
2. Each group will be given 5 minutes and will be
graded based on the following rubrics:

Duration – 10%
Teamwork – 40%
Creativity – 50%
For a total of 100%

Very good class!

Give yourself a Constellation clap!

(The students will do the constellation clap)
