This study intends to evaluate the influence of the inquiry learning learning model with the help of make a match media on the learning outcomes of grade 3 students in Gulurejo Village in understanding the characteristics of living things. A descriptive qualitative approach is used in this study, through data collection methods, namely observation, documentation, and interviews. The research subjects consisted of grade 3 students in five elementary schools in Gulurejo Village.
