Water is one of the resources that must be fulfilled every day. According to the National Standards Agency, the need for water is 60 to 120 L/day/capita. Waterpollution can occur due to industrial, agricultural, livestock and domestic activities. The research site is located at Gg.ridho, Jl. Rambutan, Sidomulyo Timur Village, Marpoyan Damai District, Pekanbaru City, where pollution at this …
Breathing is a vital indicator of a person's health. Real-time monitoring of respiratory rate can help detect potential respiratory disorders. This study develops a non-invasive respiratory rate monitoring system using a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) sensor to achieve high-accuracy measurements. The NTC sensor detects temperature changes caused by breathing activity. The system is desi…
The results of the student needs questionnaire and the physics MGMP in Batam City showed that out of 40 students experienced difficulties in the learning process due to limited learning media. Teachers still use conventional-based learning models and have difficulty determining the learning media to be used so that learning is more interesting and interactive. Therefore, the development of pr…
Natural Science (IPA) is a science that develops from observing natural phenomena by finding out about natural phenomena that occur in everyday life. There are many facts in the field, science learning is one of the subjects that is less popular with students because in science learning students often feel bored because the learning seems monotonous and the learning process does not give studen…
Education is a crucial pillar in nation-building, as it not only imparts knowledge but also instills values and ethics. In Indonesia, education aims to enhance the intellectual life of the nation. A high-quality education system is essential for producing a competent generation ready to compete globally. One of the challenges in education is the lack of student interest in learning, especially …
Physics is a knowledge that studies physical events including processes, products and scientific attitudes that are cyclical, interconnected, and explain how natural phenomena are measured through observation and research. The process of absorbing material can be received directly through media in experimental activities, one of which is the use of media, namely PhET Simulation. The use of the …

ABSTRACT Clothing is one of the primary needs for humans. The choice of one's clothing can reflect the personality and soul of the individual. Clothes also need to be cleaned or washed so that we feel more confident when wearing them, because clean clothes will definitely get wet and need to be dried. The process of drying clothes requires relatively good time for a large or small amount o…

This study aims to develop Android-based physics learning media that can be accessed at any time to help improve students' Computer Thinking and understand learning materials, especially Global Warming material. The method used is the Research and Development (R…
Science learning has an important role in the development of science and technology, supports the progress of the country, and is part of education for all students. Based on field facts, it is found that science learning still uses conventional methods that are teacher-centered, making students less active and tend to get bored during the learning process, thus hindering understanding of the m…
Effective physics learning requires students to play an active role in the learning process, one of which is through experiments. However, the lack of use of appropriate experimental tools can cause learning to become monotonous and less interesting for students. This research aims to develop a microcontroller-based linear motion kinematics experimental tool as well as student worksheets (LKPD)…
This research aims to use an ethnoscience-based physics KIT that combines indigenous Riau Malay methods for learning concepts. This research seeks to improve students' science processing abilities. The ethnoscience approach is used to explain modern scientific concepts with local wisdom, to maintain local culture and increase students' understanding of the subject matter. This research used a Q…
The quality of human resources in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 is the key to national progress, especially through improving education. According to the UNDP 2022 report, Indonesia is still ranked 112th in the Human Development Index (HDI) so there is a need to improve the quality of education.
