Abstract

The low learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN 2 Rambang in Science learning. Therefore, innovation through game-based learning is needed. This research aims to improve the learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN 2 Rambang on the topic of the life cycle of living things in Science learning using the game-based learning method. The subjects of this research were 19 third-grade students at SDN 2 Rambang. The method used in this research was Classroom Action Research which was carried out in 2 cycles. The instruments used included observation sheets, learning outcome tests, and documentation. The results of the research showed that the application of the game-based learning method could improve student learning outcomes. In the pre-cycle, only 6 out of 19 students (31.6%) achieved scores above the Minimum Completeness Criteria. In the first cycle, this increased to 12 students (63.2%), and in the second cycle, it further increased to 19 students 100%). In addition to the increase in learning outcome scores, students also showed increased motivation, activeness, and understanding of the material. Thus, it can be concluded that the game-based learning method is effective in improving student learning outcomes in Science learning, especially on the topic of the life cycle of living things.

Abstract

Bioplastics are renewable materials capable of natural degradation and can be synthesized using bio-organic compounds such as cellulose, chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and glycerol. Cassava peels, an agricultural byproduct, are a rich source of starch and cellulose, making them a promising raw material for bioplastic production. This study aims to fabricate and characterize chitosan-based bioplastic films using cassava peel starch, with a focus on optimizing their mechanical and biodegradation properties. Bioplastic films were prepared by combining cassava peel starch, chitosan, CMC, and glycerol, with chitosan concentrations varied at 45% and 75%. The films were evaluated for surface morphology using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), tensile strength, elongation at break, water absorption capacity, and biodegradability. SEM analysis revealed that chitosan concentration significantly influenced the film morphology, which in turn affected mechanical and swelling properties. The highest tensile strength (0.07 MPa) and elongation (22.5%) were observed in films with 75% chitosan. Water absorption peaked at 93.32% for the same formulation. Biodegradability tests showed complete degradation (100%) within 12 days for films with 45% chitosan. These findings demonstrate that cassava peel starch combined with chitosan can produce biodegradable films with tunable properties, offering a sustainable alternative for packaging and other applications.
