Science learning in elementary school requires media that can help students understand concepts more realistically. One of the media that can be used is a miniature eruption volcano that can simulate the process of volcanic eruptions in a simple way. This study aims to find out how the use of miniature mountain media erupts in improving the skills and understanding of grade IV elementary school students. The method used in this study is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data was obtained through observation during the learning process. The results of the study show that the use of miniature media of erupting mountains is able to increase students' enthusiasm, activeness, and understanding of natural phenomena material. Through simple experimental activities, students can learn directly, discuss with groups, and more easily understand the process of volcanic eruptions. Thus, the miniature media of erupting mountains can be an effective alternative learning media in science science learning in elementary schools.
