<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the improvement in elementary school students’ understanding of the properties of light through the implementation of the experiment-based Learning Cycle 5E model. This model consists of five stages: engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with fifth-grade students as research subjects, divided into five small groups. Each group conducted experiments using simple tools aligned with the stages of the model. The results indicate that the implementation of the experiment-based Learning Cycle 5E model significantly enhances students’ understanding of light concepts. Students became more active, motivated, and able to relate the concepts to real-life phenomena. The use of concrete media also proved to be effective in helping students grasp previously abstract material. This model not only improves learning outcomes but also fosters critical thinking skills and active student participation in the learning process.]]>
