Abstract

Science learning in schools should not only emphasize conceptual understanding but also foster science process skills that train critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. However, classroom practice is still dominated by rote memorization, leaving students’ science process skills underdeveloped. This study addresses the gap by developing a Guided Inquiry-based Student Worksheet on the concept of living things classification. The unique contribution of this student worksheet lies in its integration of guided inquiry phases with authentic classification activities, enabling students to engage in exploration, observation, and independent analysis. Unlike conventional worksheets that mainly provide summaries or drill questions, this product is designed to stimulate scientific investigation and active participation. The research adopted the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), although this study was limited to the Develop stage. Nine validators (three media experts, three material experts, and three science teachers) and 35 seventh-grade students participated as respondents. Validation results indicated an average feasibility score of 86.9% (“highly feasible”), while student responses reached 87.2% (“very positive”). These findings confirm that the developed student worksheet is not only valid in terms of content and presentation but also well-received by students. Beyond providing an alternative learning material, the broader implication of this study is that Guided Inquiry-based student worksheet can serve as a strategic tool to cultivate science process skills by combining discovery learning with real-life classification practices. Consequently, this product has the potential to enrich science learning with more meaningful and activity-oriented approaches, while preparing students to face 21st-century challenges that demand critical thinking, collaboration, and evidence-based reasoning.

Abstract

The ocean faces a variety of environmental challenges, including pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change. These threats can have significant impacts on marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of coastal communities. The sea is also affected by currents, which are the continuous and directional movement of seawater. A number of variables, including wind, temperature, salinity, and the earth's rotation, influence ocean currents. Ocean current patterns are complex and can vary greatly depending on the region and time of year. Ocean current patterns can significantly impact the distribution and movement of suspended solids in the ocean. High levels of suspended solids can reduce water clarity, making water appear cloudy. The value of the concentration of suspended solids in a body of water greatly affects how high its turbidity is. Hydrodynamic models are used to study the movement of water and sediment in estuaries and coastal areas, including tidal, wave, and current effects. Understanding the movement of suspended solids in the ocean is important because it can help predict the spread of pollutants, determine sediment transport patterns, and understand the impact of suspended solids on marine ecosystems.Keywords:Current patternsSuspended solidsHydrodynamicsSea coast

Abstract

The Rawa Danau Nature Reserve in Serang Banten is a highland swamp conservation area that is still left on the island of Java, but its existence is currently very threatened by human activities to fulfill its needs. Therefore, awareness of the importance of biodiversity through conservation education is needed. Conservation education requires materials or facilities that are close to people's lives, one example is bamboo plants. Bamboo is quite well known by the public, because it is used in everyday life. This study aims to find out the types of bamboo in Rawa Danau natural reserves which are then packaged as material for the development for Conservation Education. The research and development method is used to obtain the Conservation Education product. The result found 8 types of bamboo consisting of 5 genera, namely Dinochloa scandens, Gigantochloa apus, Gigantochloa atroviolacea, Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacea, Schizostachyum iraten, Bambusa vulgaris, Dendrocalamus asper, Gigantochloa atter. Furthermore, people’s knowledge about the types of bamboo are used as material for Conservation Education that can increase knowledge, attitudes, skills, awareness and participation of the community in preserving environmental sustainability
