So far, teaching and learning activities still look conventional, where the teacher only conveys the material, students only listen so that students are less active in learning activities and when the teacher explains there are still some students who do not pay attention. It is a common fact found in junior high schools that most elementary science teaching is given classically through the lecture method without much seeing the possibility of other methods according to the type of material, materials, and tools available. To overcome the problems mentioned above, we need a learning method by taking actions that can involve students to be more active in teaching and learning activities and construct children's knowledge naturally, namely the environmental approach method. For the purposes mentioned above, the method used in this study is to use a quantitative approach. By collecting data through observation and tests. The data analysis technique used is quantitative From the results of the research conducted, the researchers drew several conclusions, including: first, the application of the environmental approach method can improve students' understanding of science subjects at SDN 1 Sukarara, West Sakra District, for the 2020/2021 academic year. Of the 22 students studied, it can be seen from the results of classical mastery that students in the first cycle were 32% with an average value of 68.05, while for the second cycle the results of learning completeness were 90% with an average value of 82.10. So that the initial hypothesis is accepted, namely, the application of the environmental approach method can improve students' understanding of the concept of natural resources for class IV SDN 1 Sukarara, West Sakra District, for the 2020/2021 academic year.
