Answer:

Yes, you can use the Big Dipper to find Polaris (North Star). You can see that a line from the 2 outermost stars in the "bowl" of the Big Dipper points directly to Polaris known as North Star. And you can see that Polaris marks the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper. The northern sky is a large clock, with Polaris at its center.
