Explain why the big dipper and the little dipper are not separate constellations?
Quite simply, this is the way constellations are defined. Constellations are arbitrary groupings of stars; somebody considered that a certain group of stars looks like a bear, and called it "big bear". This is one of the 88 official constellations recognized by modern Astronomy; you can look for other images in the stars, i.e., groups of stars. Those groups might be part of a constellation, or they may span more than one constellation. The Big Dipper happens to be part of a larger "official" constellation: the Big Bear (Ursa Major).Quite simply, this is the way constellations are defined.
