<![CDATA[Ultraviolet light is an electromagnetic radiation that has range of wavelengths between 100nm to 400nm. This wavelength can be identified by the ultraviolet index, where at this wavelenght ultraviolet light has an impact to human health. Ultraviolet light with ultraviolet index green to yellow is benefical for human health. Meanwhile, ultraviolet rays with red to purple ultraviolet index are harmful to human health. Ultraviolet rays that are harmful to humans can pass the surface of the earth caused by many factors, one of which is global warming. Therefore, this research was conducted to create an ultraviolet light detection system using Raspberry Pi as a sensor data reader and aims to learn about how much light reflected on the surface of the earth. The data obtained will be processed using the phyton programming language and presented using an LCD touchscreen. From this research, the values of the ultraviolet index from zero to six were obtained based on the ultraviolet index value from the BMKG indicate the categories of ultraviolet light associated with light reflection on the surface of the earth are known. So it can be concluded that the less ultraviolet light on the surface of the earth will be reflected easily by the earth, and the more ultraviolet light on the surface of the earth will be difficult to reflect.]]>

<![CDATA[The ability of students to ask questions is one of the obstacles faced by teachers when teaching. Most students do not want to ask questions when the teacher gives the chance to ask questions. The low ability of students to ask questions was also influenced by the ability of teachers to raise the enthusiasm of students to ask questions also experienced by physics teachers in Aceh Tengah. Therefore, it is necessary to increase teacher professionalism in these activities. The purpose of this activity is to provide support to physics teachers on how to improve students' scientific questioning skills in physics lessons at SMA Aceh Tengah District. The target of Community Service activities in 2020, is the core teachers in the field of Physics in Aceh Tengah Regency, totaling 10 people. Implementation of assistance uses the Question Web-Based Learning (QWBL) learning model or the questions based learning model. Assistance material is the development of student worksheets based on questions or called the student activity question web worksheets (SQWS). SQWS is a question sheet that can link one question with other questions about the material being studied. The teacher's ability to improve students' scientific questioning skills in learning physics is measured using the Scientific Asking Skills Assessment Sheet (SASAS) or scientific questioning skills test assessment sheet. The results of the mentoring show that the teacher's ability to ask questions before going mentoring is in the average scientific category and less scientific, whereas after mentoring the average ability of the teacher to ask is in the scientific category and very scientific. This shows that the mentoring activity very helped physics teachers to improve students' scientific questioning skills at SMA Aceh Tengah district.]]>
