Pertanian di Indonesia masih sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan pupuk dan air yang memadai untuk mendukung pertumbuhan tanaman, namun ketergantungan yang terlalu besar pada pupuk anorganik telah menimbulkan berbagai dampak negatif seperti penurunan kualitas tanah, kerusakan biodiversitas, dan pencemaran lingkungan. Upaya pengembangan pupuk organik menjadi solusi yang lebih ramah lingkungan dan…
Quality education is achieved through an effective learning process, which is characterized by active student involvement or participation in learning activities. However, in reality, the level of student learning engagement during the learning process remains relatively low. In addition to low learning engagement, poor learning outcomes also pose a problem in the biology learning process. Biol…
21st century learning requires students to master higher order thinking skills, one of which is creative thinking. The current curriculum is designed to develop students' potential through active, creative, and student-centered learning, with teachers acting as facilitators. However, based on observations during the introduction to the school environment and interviews with 11th grade biology t…
This study aims to synthesize clay-based zeolite using the hydrothermal alkali fusion method with varying mol ratios of Na2O/SiO2 and performing alkali metal impregnation to analyze its effect on CO2 adsorption capacity. Characterization was performed using XRF, XRD, and FTIR analysis, followed by TPD-CO2 analysis on the zeolite after impregnation to determine the nature and strength of the bas…
Vegetasi bawah merupakan komponen penting dalam ekosistem hutan yang berperan dalam menjaga stabilitas mikroklimat, memperbaiki struktur tanah, serta mendukung siklus hara melalui proses dekomposisi bahan organik. Selain itu, keanekaragaman vegetasi bawah dapat menjadi indikator kondisi lingkungan dan tingkat kestabilan suatu ekosistem hutan. Materi keanekaragaman hayati merupakan salah sa…
Limbah cair merupakan sisa buangan berbentuk cair dari aktivitas manusia maupun industri yang dapat mencemari lingkungan jika tidak dikelola dengan baik. Dalam industri minyak bumi, limbah cair umumnya mengandung senyawa hidrokarbon yang bersifat toksik, sulit terurai secara alami, dan berpotensi mengganggu keseimbangan ekosistem perairan serta membahayakan makhluk hidup di sekitarnya. Sal…
Fresh milk is highly susceptible to quality deterioration during storage due to microbial activity necessitating a rapid and non-destructive quality assessment method. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) for detecting quality changes in cow’s milk during storage. Milk samples were stored at room temperature and analyzed at several storage inte…
This study aims to determine the effect of using Liveworksheets based e-LKPD on student motivation and learning outcomes on the human excretory system material at SMAN 1 Inuman. The background of this study is based on the low involvement and motivation of students in biology learning, especially on abstract materials such as the excretory system. Liveworksheets based interactive learning media…
This study is entitled "The Effect of Using Interactive Multimedia with Wordwalls on Student Interest and Learning Outcomes in Coordination Systems for Grade XI." The background of this study is the low student interest and learning outcomes in Coordination Systems, caused by conventional learning and minimal use of interactive media. Therefore, innovative and engaging learning is needed, one o…
This study aims to produce valid and high-quality flash card learning media on the subject of the body's defense system. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, which includes three stages: analysis, design, and development. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Riau, Biology Education Study Program an…
The biology learning process is often a challenge for teachers and students, one of which is the excretory system material. This is because most of the organs studied cannot be observed directly, so the concepts learned tend to be abstract. The purpose of this study is to produce quality Augmented Reality learning media using Assemblr Edu on excretory system material. This research was conducte…
This research is motivated by the low critical thinking skills of students in biology learning. The low critical thinking skills of students are caused by the use of less varied learning models and the lack of student concern for the environment. This study aims to determine the effect of the Ethnoscience-integrated Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on students' critical thinking skills on the…
Taman kota memiliki peran penting sebagai habitat berbagai jenis flora dan fauna, termasuk kupu-kupu yang berfungsi sebagai indikator kualitas lingkungan. Keberadaan kupu-kupu sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan vegetasi yang menjadi sumber makanan, tempat berkembang biak, dan tempat berlindung. Faktor lingkungan seperti intensitas cahaya, kualitas udara, dan kelembapan juga mempengaruhi k…
