The results of this study include: (1) the process of exploring the surrounding environment is carried out by the teacher inviting children to explore the surrounding nature; observing, identifying, planting and caring for plants (2) The results showed an increase in children's science knowledge through environmental exploration, where children were able to work and were able to be patient waiting for their turn, namely pre-cycle, the percentage value reached 41.17%, while the average achievement indicator of children is 4.05. After the first cycle of action, the percentage value reached 58.82%, while the average achievement of the child indicators was 5.29. and the second cycle of action, the percentage value reached 88.23%. the average score of the child's achievement indicator is 7.17. It has been found that a comparison of the level of children's science knowledge shows that children experience development in their scientific knowledge.]]>
