When is the North Star visible and what other constellations are visible at the same time?
Polaris, or the North Star, is always visible in the Northern Hemisphere. The entire sky rotates around it during the night. The Big and Little Dipper aka Big and Little Bear are visible, as Polaris is a part of the Little Dipper. Draco, Casseopia, and Capheus are also formations normally visible around the North Star. The other constellations vary with the seasons, see the star chart referenced.

Why is the constellation Taurus the bull only visible in November not in May?
The Sun can not reveal a constellation that it is transiting through. If the Sun is actually in Taurus, this would be during the day time and the constellation would not be visible. At night the Sun is on the opposite side of the zodiac so the opposite sign (Scorpio) would be visible in the night sky.

Why do some constellations such as ursa minor are visble in the sky year round other constellations appear for only part of the year?
What constellations are circumpolar (visible all year, at any time of the night) depends on your latitude. If you are (for example) at a latitude of 50° north, then any start that is 50° or less from the sky's north pole will never go below the horizon. For a more detailed explanation, read the Wikipedia article on "Circumpolar star".

What is the path the zodiac follows through the night sky is?
The Zodiac roughly coincides with the Ecliptic - the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. However, "The Zodiac" specifically refers to the constellations among those paths. Traditionally, there are 12 such constellations, though the actual Ecliptic passes through 13 constellations, according to the modern boundaries of the constellations.
Why do we see different constellations in the sky different times of the year?
Because we tend to do our stargazing at roughly the same time of night whenever we go out, but the constellations move through our clock.-- Constellations within (your latitude) of the celestial pole are visible at any time on any clear night, all year around.-- And constellations farther from the pole of the sky are visible at some time of every clear night, for 9 or 10 months of the year.That is related to Earth's movement around the Sun.
Are all constellations visible all the time?
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
Why were the zodiac constellations put on the calendar?
