Abstract

The research carried out is a laboratory experimental research withmake particle board from coconut coir, with variations in the composition of fibers and powders used are 100 % - 0%, 90 % - 10 %, 80 % - 20 %, and 70 % - 30 % using urea formaldehyde adhesive in order to determine the mechanical properties, and find a good composition of coconut coir particle board. Sampling was carried out at the Forestry Laboratory of the Muhammadiyah University of West Sumatra. The tests were carried out at the Civil Polytechnic Laboratory of Unand, and at the Agricultural Product Technology Laboratory of Unand. The independent variables in this study were thickness and composition variation. The dependent variable is density, flexural strength or MOR. Control variables are temperature, adhesive content, particleboard thickness, compression pressure, and drying time. Data were taken by repeated measurements of 5 samples. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it was found that the use of coconut coir powder particles as an outer coating for particleboard at different percentages has an influence on the mechanical properties of the particle board. From the results of the study, it was found that particleboard with a composition between fiber and coconut coir powder (90% - 10%) was the best result because the less powder used resulted in good mechanical properties with a density of 0.52 g/cm3 and flexural strength or MOR 159, 43 Kg/cm2.

Abstract

The research aims to develop inquiry-based worksheets which are expected to increase students' curiosity about gas kinetic theory material. The inquiry approach method was developed with steps, giving problems, formulating problems, hypotheses, experiments, collecting data, analyzing data, and making conclusions. The method used is the ADDIE development method, which analyzes, designs, develops, implements, and evaluates. Developing inquiry-based worksheets and testing the effectiveness of these worksheets in the learning process. The research subjects were 22 class XI students of SMA N 4 Sijunjung. The instrument used was a student worksheet and a curiosity attitude questionnaire. Assessment of the student worksheet was carried out by validation tests of media experts, material experts, and questionnaires for teachers. The validation results of media experts showed 92.30% (very good), and media experts scored 90.21% (very good), while trials on teachers and students showed scores of 86.13% and 89.16% (very good). The results of the student worksheet effectiveness test used the medium criterion N-Gain test, value 0.32. This shows that inquiry-based worksheets equipped with Phet simulations deserve to be good teaching materials and can increase students' curiosity in high school physics learning on the kinetic theory of gases.
