Abstract

SMAI Gumukmas is a privately-funded high school situated in Purwoasri Village, Gumukmas District, Jember, with a B accreditation status. The absence of laboratory resources challenges devising inventive, uncomplicated, and pragmatic classroom learning, such as Chemistry. Collaboration between SMAI Gumukmas and the Chemistry Department lecturers to conduct community service is a mutually beneficial initiative that fosters curriculum innovation and practicum subjects. Acid-base is a chemistry topic with material relevant to all grade levels and can be easily visualized through practical examples from everyday life. The methodology involves delivering a lecture or theoretical framework on acid-base, followed by practical work. The acid-base practical is designed to commence with comprehension of the acid-base concept, including everyday life examples, before progressing to classroom implementation. The acid-base theme learning activities and practicum at SMAI Gumukmas proceeded seamlessly and successfully. The initial class consisted of 40 students from grades 11 and 12, while the subsequent consisted of 33 grade 10 students. The students exhibited a positive response as their studies progressed with exemplifications derived from everyday life.

Abstract

Water is a basic need for all living organisms. Water quality implies living quality. Several parameters influencing water quality include minerals, dissolved organic substances, and turbidity. The water consumed must meet proven water quality standards. However, water quality still needs to be improved in several areas before consumption. The well water in residential areas placed on rice fields generally needs to meet the requirements for consumption. Many Taman Gading housing complex residents, especially in RW 036 RT 006, still use the well water to meet their daily needs. The well water quality in this area tends to be smelly and somewhat misty. Proper treatment is needed to improve the quality of well water in this area to reduce the negative impact on the population's health in the long term. This training focused on well water purification and filtration using slow sand filtration technology (SPL) to improve water quality. This method uses activated charcoal, sand, gauze, and pumice as filter media in specific proportions. The use of this method is effective and efficient in reducing the turbidity level of the sample water to the threshold for drinking water (<500 ppm), with a neutral pH (close to 7.00). This technology is effortless for residents to use and apply independently at a relatively low cost.
