Why do you think so?
Any other answer?

is its color. What do you think
are the different colors of the
star? Can you give mnemonics
on the different colors of the
stars?
(if nobody can do it, share)
What do you think is the reason

why the stars have different
colors?
No, Sir.
Precisely! The color of the stars
relates to its temperature. The Yes, Sir.

Next characteristic of star is the

brightness.
Do all stars shine the same?
Have you seen lines of lamp

post in your barangay or street?
O let’s assume that the lamp

posts in tha street are the stars. No, Sir. Stars have different size.
What do you observe on the There are are big and smaller ones.
lamp posts that are near you?
How about the lamp posts that I think it has shorter life. Big stars
are very far? consume their energy more because of
their size.
Precisely. There are two factors
that determine the brightness of
the star.
a. Luminousity – measures the
energy it gives off per unit
in time
b. Distance – measures how Yes, because our sun is a star, so the
far the star is located from stars that is far away from us can be
us called distant suns.
The next characteristics of stars is Size
Do all stars have the same sizes? The reason is that the light of the sun
outshines the brightness or the light of
the stars. No, Sir.
Very good the stars have different
sizes. What happened if the star is
bigger? Does it have shorter or longer
life? Because the atmosphere is moving so
the light refracts from it causing the

stars. The size affects the brightness of
the stars. If the star is too big, it
consumes lot of energy. The bigger the
star is, the shorter the lifespan is.
The stars can also be called distant

These are color, brightness and size.
Very good. Why do you think the stars

twinkle? What about our atmosphere?

in the twinkling of the stars?
Exactly. Stars twinkle when we see

them from the earth’s surface because
we are reviewing them through thick
layers of turbulent air in the earth’s
atmosphere. But the light of the stars
reach our planet in straight pattern. The
twinkling of the stars is called stellar
scintillation.
F. Valuing
So, what can you say about
stars? What is a star?
What are the main

characteristics of a star?
Very good.
That's all for today class.

Thank you and God bless us all.
