Abstract

The acid-base titration topic has links between concepts, equations of reactions, and calculations. Therefore, the lack of mastery related to this topic will affect the low learning outcomes. This study aimed to improve student learning outcomes on the acid-base titration topic by applying the discovery learning model. The sample of this study was students of class XI MIPA SMA Negeri 5 Palu, consisting of class XI MIPA 5 as experimental class 1 (n = 35) and class XI MIPA 6 as experimental class 2 (n = 33). The effectiveness of applying the discovery learning model can be seen from the average N-gain value in the experimental class. For experimental class 1, the average N-gain value was 0.67, which is included in the medium category. While the experimental class 2 was 0.63, which is included in the medium category. Based on the results of data analysis, the average value of student learning outcomes for experimental class 1 was 76.42 and experimental class 2 was 75.3. This value was greater than the average student learning outcomes before the treatment, which were 65. So it can be concluded that applying the discovery learning model can improve students’ learning outcomes in class XI MIPA on acid-base titration topics in SMA Negeri 5 Palu.

Abstract

This study aimed to obtain a description of the critical thinking skills of SMA Negeri 3 Palu students in solving reaction rate problems. The type of research used is descriptive-quantitative, with the research design in the form of case studies. The research sample consisted of students of class XI IPA 1 to XI IPA 4 SMA Negeri 3 Palu, with 108 students. The research instrument used is a critical thinking skill test in the form of 6 questions, validated with a value obtained for expert validation of 3.72 and an average empirical validation value of 0.72. Data analysis is done by calculating the grades students get for each indicator of critical thinking skills, then grouping them by essential categories of thinking. According to Ennis, the indicators of critical thinking skills used in this study are to provide simple explanations, build basic skills, draw conclusions, provide further explanations, and set strategies and tactics. Based on the results of the research data analysis, the highest percentage of critical thinking skills for the five indicators used in a row, namely 37.04, 51.85, 61.11, 53.70, and 42.59 %. These results show that each student has different critical thinking skills. The percentage obtained is, on average, in the medium to high category. The results of this study show that the essential thinking skills of high school students of SMA Negeri 3 Palu, grade XI IPA, are in a good category.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the improvement of student learning outcomes by applying the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) cooperative learning model on hydrocarbon material in class XI SMA Negeri 2 Sigi. This study's research type is pre-experimental with a one-group pretest posttest design. This study utilized purposive sampling. The sample consisted of two classes: class XI IPA 3 as the experimental class 1 (n = 22) and class XI IPA 4 as the experimental class 2 (n = 24). Student learning outcomes data are processed using the learning improvement test (N-gain). The application of the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model to improve student learning outcomes on Hydrocarbons can be seen from the average N-gain value in the two experimental classes, including in the high category, namely 0.77 and 0.78. Therefore, applying the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model can improve student learning outcomes on average greater than 75 (KKM) of SMA Negeri 2 Sigi students in Class XI on hydrocarbon material.

Abstract

Langsat fruit (lansium domesticum) is a plant included in the family meliaceace. Several compounds were reported to have been isolated from multiple constituents in langsat plants that contain lansic acid, triterpene amino sugar glycoside, and dukunolides A- C, tetranortripenoid was dukunolides D- F. With the development of sciense a lot of research on ingredients and benefits langsat fruit both the pulp of the fruit and the skin. Empirically, the skin of the langsat fruit has been used as an anti-oxidant and anti-cancer treatment. Langsat fruit skin is an essential source of bioactive components such as phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and alkaloids. This study used a UV-Vis spectrophotometer to determine the levels of flavonoids in the ethanol extract of langsat fruit peel (Lansium domesticum). This study aims to determine the levels of flavonoids in the skin of langsat fruit (lancium domesticum) by comparing the wet and dry fruit skin. Extraction of the chemical content of langsat fruit skin (Lansium domesticum) was carried out by the meseration method using ethanol 70.0/0. The determination of flavonoid levels in langsat fruit peel extract was measured at 520 nm and 700 nm from the result of the study. The total flavonoid levels of each sample were 2.856 mg /100 grams of alkaline fruit skin and 4.209mg /100 grams of dried langsat fruit peel. This shows that dried langsat fruit peel samples have high anti-oxidant power and alkaline fruit peel extracts.

Abstract

Biofoam is a styrofoam substitute packaging made with starch and fiber as the basic ingredients. This study aims to determine the characteristics (biodegradation test, pressure strength and water absorption) of biofoam produced from durian seed waste and corn cobs. The best treatment in this study was biofoam made using a mixture of durian seeds starch and corn cobs fiber made with 5 % NaOH concentration, where the results obtained were the water absorption test values with 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes, namely 11.20 %, 14.22 % and 16.81 %. While the compressive strength test value obtained is 16.85 10-5 Pa, and the results of the biodegradation test are obtained at 35.42 % within 14 days of burial in the soil. The FTIR test results showed that the biofoam groups produced from a mixture of corn cob fibers with different concentrations of NaOH still showed similarities in their functional groups, where none gave rise to new peaks. The functional group content of the resulting biofoam includes the CH group (alkane) and the C. C Group (alkyne) C=C group (aromatic ring and OH group.

Abstract

Moringa seeds are one of the natural coagulant ingredients that contain protein and carbohydrates that can be used in water purification, especially in reducing turbidity. This study aims to determine the level of NaCl coagulated by Moringa seed powder. The capacity or coagulation ability of Moringa seed powder is measured by the percentage of NaCl in the solution coagulated by Moringa seed powder. To achieve this purpose, several experiments have been used, namely variations in the concentration of NaCl as samples including; 0.5 %, 1 %, 3%, and 5% with treatment using Moringa seed powder as much as 1 g, 3 g and 5 g—determination of NaCl content using Flame Photometers BWB Technologies. The results of this study indicate that the optimum level of NaCl coagulated by Moringa seed powder is 3 %. The concentration can increase the effectiveness of reducing NaCl levels by obtaining a coagulated percentage value of 95.30 %.

Abstract

Salak seeds have a reasonably high cellulose content. This suggests that salak seeds can be used as a raw material for producing activated charcoal to refine used cooking oil. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of refining used cooking oil using active charcoal adsorbents derived from Salacca zalacca seeds. The methods used to determine free fatty acid levels and peroxide values are the acid-base and iodometric titration methods. This study will observe several variables that affect the adsorption process, namely the mass of activated charcoal and the contact time of used cooking oil. The results showed a decrease in free fatty acids and peroxide number, and the colour of the oil became brighter with increasing adsorbent and contact time. The best results were obtained at a mass of 15 grams and an adsorption time of 120 minutes. Based on the quality requirements for cooking oil as specified in SNI 3741-1995.
