Abstract

One device that is commonly used to demonstrate electrostatic phenomena is the Van de Graaff generator. However, this device is found to be expensive, relatively large, hard to move, and not available in many school laboratories. This paper aims to describe the experiment of creating a simple portable handheld Van de Graaff generator produced by employing second and easily available materials in the local market. This device collects charges from two materials that rub against each other. The combination of chosen materials listed in the triboelectric series determines the type of charge on the generator. This research used the experimental method by continuously testing the prototype to find the best result using the following steps: start, theory, design, material selection and assembly, testing, completion, and finish. A charge conduction experiment and a charge type test through a simple Coulomb experiment or an electrostatic polarity detector successfully tested the final product. The results showed that the device could effectively demonstrate basic electrostatic phenomena, making it a practical and affordable alternative for classroom demonstration.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a Student Worksheet (LKPD) based on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach and the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) model through a simple submarine project, designed to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of Archimedes’ Principle in junior high schools with limited laboratory facilities. The LKPD was developed using the ADDIE model, comprising the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The product was validated by subject matter and media experts and its practicality was tested by a science teacher and students. Implementation involved 27 eighth-grade students and was evaluated using pretest and posttest instruments based on seven indicators of conceptual understanding. Validation results indicated that the LKPD was highly valid (scores of 4.80 and 4.20), practical (score of 4.60), and well-received by students. Classroom implementation showed high student engagement, with an interest score of 4.89. The average N-Gain of 0.47 reflected moderate effectiveness, with greater improvements in higher-order indicators such as classification, interpretation, and application. The use of simple, readily available materials allowed experimental activities despite limited resourses. Overall, the LKPD is feasible as a project-based learning tool and highlights the need to strengthen foundational concepts early in instruction.
