Abstract ___________________________________________________________________ Inquiry cannot be separated in learning science activities. Students are actively involved in constructing knowledge of both hands-on and minds-on. Learning science will be more meaningful when students can get to know the material science is not in the form of textual but contextual where students can learn science closer to the event / phenomenon that occurs in the factual and the environment around them more real. The science acquisition process can be conducted using a scientific approach that is packed with outdoor learning. This article is the result of the study of literature on school-based learning outdoor yard (neighborhood school) which is expected to facilitate teachers in applying scientific approaches and outdoor learning so that students can be closer to the surrounding environment.

Abstract ___________________________________________________________________ This research aims to find out the comparison between of the students physics concept understanding who take the lesson using the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) models with experiment methods and demonstration methods. This research is a quasi-experimental research design pretest-Post Test Control Group Design. The population in this study was 212 students, then take a sample of 60 students who carried out based on non-random techniques conditional. Samples were taken as many as 60 students divided into two experimental classes. Data collection methods used pretest to obtain data on students’ physics concept understanding before being given treatment and posttest to obtain data on students’ physics concept understanding after being treated. Data obtained were analyzed using Independent Samples T-test. The results showed no difference between the understanding of the students’ physics concept understanding who takes the lesson using the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE)models with experiment methods and the demonstration methods. Based on the increase in the average value of pretest and posttest, obtained an average value of the experiments class is 6.65, while the larger demonstration class is 8.33. This suggests that physics learning using POE models with experiment methods are no better to improve students’ physics concept understanding compared using POE models with demonstration methods.
