III. Teaching Strategy

Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

A. Preparation
1. Performing Routinized Activities
a. Greeting
b. Praying
c. Singing
d. Checking of attendance
2. Drill
I have here a set of flashcards,
each card contains a word. As I flash
each card, say “boom” if the written
word is a star and say “panes” if it is
not.
Is it clear? Yes, it is.
Let’s begin.
GALAXY (panes) SUN (boom)
SIRIUS (boom) MILKY WAY(panes)
SPUTNIK 1 (panes) METEORS (panes)
BETELGEUS (boom) ANTARES (boom)
Very good. All of your answers
are certainly correct.

3. Review
What was our lesson yesterday?
Girlie.
Our lesson yesterday was about stars’
Correct. colors and temperature.

I prepared an activity to test how

well you understand our lesson
yesterday.
Will you read the direction, Rex.
Direction:
Arrange the stars from the hottest to
the coolest, then write their color and
temperature.
Thank you.
 Now I will divide you into four
groups, with ten members for each
group.
The group, who will finish first the
activity with the most correct answers,
will be the winner.

Are the directions clear? Yes, they are.

Begin. (The pupils start doing the activity.)

STAR COLOR TEMPERATURE

SIRIUS
ANTARES
BETELGEUSE
SUN

The winner is group ________.

Let us give them a fireworks clap.
Begin. (The pupils do the fireworks clap.)

4. Motivation
Who among you are fond of
looking at the night sky? (The pupils raise their hands)

When you look at the night sky

what do you see? Charles. I see many stars in the night sky.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Introduction
I ask you those questions because they
are related to our topic today.
Will you read the title of our lesson
today, Jan Carlo.
Patterns Of Stars in the Night Sky
Again what is the lesson that we are
going to study class? The lesson that we are going to study
for today is about pattern of stars in the
night sky.
2. Presentation
Class, look at this illustration. (The pupils observe the illustration in
the chart)

What do you see in the illustration?

Brent.

I see stars forming different groups or

figures.
Very good Brent.
Stars is one of the wonderful creation
of God , one way to appreciate those things is
to study it.

On a clear night you see thousands of

stars in the sky. You would notice that some of
them seem to form a group.

Some ancient people who studied the

stars imagined that each group of stars have
patterns. They associated these pictures with
animals such as bear, dog and a lot more. They
also associated these group of stars with Gods
and Goddesses and inanimate objects.
 Those patterns of stars are called
constellations.

Based on the illustration, constellations

Rosenell.

Very good.

3. Discussion Constellations are group of stars

that form patterns in the night sky;
Everybody read these. they seem to form outlines of
animals, objects, or man.

Thank you class

I have here a chart. I want you to tell

something about the different patterns of the
stars.

What do you observed in the picture? I observed that there are seven stars
Allen. that form a pattern.

Correct.
When we connect those stars a certain
figure will be formed. ( the teacher connects
the stars.)
Again class look at the
illustration.
What figure do you see? Jan
 Carlo. The patterns formed a figure of kite.
Right.
Yes, its look like a kite but it is not exactly
the figure that will be formed, this
constellation is we called Big Dipper.
Big Dipper is found in the constellation
Ursa Major.

I have here another illustration.

How many stars do the illustration has?

Rex. The illustration has five stars.

Correct.

When I connect those five stars, what When we connect the stars, a letter W
figure I formed? Melvin. will be formed.

Good observation, but that is not exactly

the figure that will be formed. It is like a queen
sitting on a chair, and we call this
constellation, Cassiopeia the queen.
Another well-known constellation is the
Orion the great hunter.

I will show you the picture of

constellation Orion.
What figure do you see? Monica.
I see a man holding an archer.
Right because of the figure formed they
call it also as the great hunter.
Another constellation is the ursa major.
 What figure you see in the picture?

Correct. I see big bear.

Ursa major is also called as Big Bear.

Are the star important to people? Yes.

Why it is important to us? Daniel Because it help us in some way.

Right.

What else? Joshua. Because the stars have different uses.

Correct.
Stars have different uses, first it is use to
tell direction and time, it also use to predict
weather and to serve as birth signs this signs
are we called as zodiac signs.
Who among you have known the zodiac
signs?
Will you give one zodiac sign you familiar One of the familiar zodiac sign is Leo.
with? Roberto.
Right.
How about you, what is your birth sign My birth sign is Virgo.
Joeanne.
Thank you.

That is only few of the zodiac sign,

because we have twelve zodiac constellations
they are the Aries (The Ram); Taurus (The
Bull); Gemini (The Twins); Cancer (The Crab);
Leo (The Lion); Virgo (The Virgin); Libra (The
Balance); Scorpio (The Scorpion); Sagittarius
(The Archer); Capricorn (The Goat); Aquarius
(The Water carrier); and Pisces (The Fishes).

C. Generalization The lesson that we have studied for

What was the lesson that we have today is all about the patterns of stars in the
studied for today? Ely. night sky.
 Right.
Will you describe constellation, Kressel.
Constellations are groups of stars that
form patterns in the night sky, they seem to
Good. form outlines of animals, objects, or man.
Will you give one example of
constellation? Charles. One example of constellation is Ursa
Major.
Correct.
What else? CJ. Orion is another example of
constellation.
Right.
What are the different uses of stars? The different uses of stars are they are
Megan. used to tell direction and time; they are also
used to predict weather and to serve as birth
signs.
Very good.
Will you give one example of zodiac
signs? Edison. One example of zodiac signs is Cancer.
Right.
Another example? Mylene. Another example of zodiac sign is
Scorpio.
Good.

D. Application
Locate the different constellation in the picture, and then trace their pattern.
IV. Evaluation
Give the name of the given picture of the different constellation.
