Abstract

Ketapang seed tempeh (Terminalia catappa) is made from ketapang seed waste through a fermentation process using Rhizopus sp., as with soybean tempeh. This study used a quantitative descriptive method to determine the content of primary metabolites, including fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Laboratory analysis was conducted at the Chemistry Education Laboratory, Tadulako University, using the Soxhlet method for fat, the Kjeldahl method for protein, and the phenol-sulfur method for carbohydrates, as well as organoleptic tests by 15 panellists. The results showed that ketapang seed tempeh had very low fat content (0.17%), low protein (0.02 g per 100 g sample), and moderate carbohydrate (10.06%). Fried ketapang tempeh was preferred by the panellists, although its acceptance level was still lower than that of soybean tempeh. The novelty of this study lies in the quantitative evaluation of primary metabolites in tempeh made entirely from ketapang seeds, which has not been previously reported. These findings indicate that ketapang seeds have the potential to serve as an alternative ingredient in the production of low-fat tempeh.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the project-based learning model application on science process skills and students' science learning outcomes. This type of research is a quasi-experimental using a counterbalanced design with a Post-test Only Control Design research, which was carried out in two research sessions. The study population was all students of SMP Negeri 21 Bulubonggu. The sampling technique was purposive. In the first session, the science process skills scores of the experimental class 1 students were 56.40, the experimental class 2 students were 37.95, while the experimental class 1 students' learning outcomes were 70.00, and the experimental class 2's average was 54.50. The results of the independent-sample parametric t-test of science process skills were obtained, p = 0.001, and the learning outcomes obtained were p = 0.000, so that H0 was rejected. The second session of the science process skills scores of the experimental class 1 students obtained an average of 60.60, the experimental class 2 was 72.80, and the learning outcomes of the experimental class 1 students were an average of 62.00, the experimental class 2 was 74, 00. The results of the independent-sample parametric t-test for science process skills were obtained, p = 0.043; the learning outcomes obtained were p = 0.042, so that Ho was rejected. It means that (1) there is an effect of the project-based learning model on students' science process skills, and (2) there is an effect of the project-based learning model on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Yogurt is a fermented milk product produced by Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which confer a distinctive sour taste. Lactic acid bacteria require a carbohydrate source during growth, which can be obtained from purple sweet potatoes. This study aimed to determine the effect of fermentation time on carbohydrate and protein levels in purple sweet potato yoghurt. This study comprises 3 samples: sample A (yoghurt fermented for 7 hours), sample B (yoghurt fermented for 14 hours), and sample C (yoghurt fermented for 21 hours). The study employed a quantitative design, with carbohydrate testing using the Luff-Schoorl method and protein testing using the Kjeldahl method. The carbohydrate content was 10.36% in sample A, 10.41% in sample B, and 10.02% in sample C; the protein content was 2.23% in sample A, 3.93% in sample B, and 4,03% in sample C.

Abstract

This study aims to test the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing smartphone-based chemistry e-modules in enhancing high school students' understanding of the material, creativity, and collaboration. The research method used is pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 28 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Tinombo, selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected thru instruments such as material comprehension tests, creativity tests, and collaboration observation sheets. The research results show that the implemented e-module meets the validity criteria with an average of 78% and is very practical to use, with a practicality score of 84.5% for teachers and 87.78% for students. The effectiveness analysis using the N-Gain test shows an increase in material understanding of 0.71 (high category). For student creativity, the N-gain value is 0.72, and for collaboration, it is reinforced by the teacher's observation results of 87.5%. Thus, it can be concluded that the smartphone-based e-module is effective in improving the quality of chemistry learning on nanomaterial topics.
