Social studies learning in elementary schools needs to be reformed so that when presenting the material we don't just use the lecture method which results in making students bored and disengaged when learning. Therefore, the researcher created this research so that teachers can always develop something new, namely by developing learning media in the form of a seismograph that is simply designed.

The results of the research can be concluded that by developing a simple seismograph tool as a learning medium for social studies material in elementary schools about the impact of Indonesia's geographic location on the material samples taken, namely earthquakes. It can be stated that using and making this simple seismograph tool is able to make students involved in learning, make students' curiosity high when studying and can motivate students to learn actively.
