This semi-detailed lesson plan aims to teach students about the relationship between the brightness and distance of stars from Earth. The lesson will involve students observing stars using penlights and notebooks to record their brightness at different distances, representing how stars appear brighter when closer and dimmer when farther. They will then generalize that the farther away a star is from Earth, the lesser its apparent brightness appears to us. The lesson evaluates students' understanding of this relationship and assigns them to explain why the sun is considered the brightest star.
