This research was conducted due to the low level of student interest in science at the elementary school level, which is caused by teaching methods that do not connect the material to students' daily experiences. Science, as a combination of science and social studies, requires a realistic, meaningful, and enjoyable learning approach to align with children's developing thinking patterns. The deep learning model is considered an effective way to enhance in-depth conceptual understanding through exploration, problem-solving, and hands-on experiences that stimulate students' interest and self-esteem. The purpose of this study is to describe efforts to increase student interest in science using a deep learning approach. The method used was descriptive qualitative, with class teachers and 18 students at Nanggungan Elementary School as subjects. Data were obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation during the learning process. The results of this study demonstrate several efforts teachers have made to increase student interest in learning, including implementing interactive digital-based learning, providing hands-on learning experiences, strengthening student motivation and self-confidence, and creating an active and enjoyable learning environment.
