<![CDATA[The students have learning difficulties in learning science because their concept mastery and creativity were low. Digital storytelling is good media for students who make their own story. The research was conducted to identify student’s concept mastery and creativity by digital storytelling video in learning food additives. The method used in this research is weak experiment. The sample of 36 students from private school in Cianjur, West Java. The students’ concept mastery was measured by objective test based on bloom taxonomy. Objective test contained of multiple choices. Data analysis was using SPSS. The student’s creativity is measured by Creative Product Semantic Scale (CPSS) rubric based on three dimensions such as novelty, resolution, elaboration and synthesis. The result of students’ concept mastery is N-Gain is 0.30 categorized as medium improvement. The results of students’ creativity are resolution is (54%), categorized as very low, revolution is (61%) categorized as medium. elaboration and synthesis is (66%) categorized as medium. Based on this result, Digital storytelling video can be utilized for students’ concept mastery and students’ creativity.]]>

<![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[This study aims to determine the effect of the REACT-based contextual learning model on the mastery of physics concepts in high school students. This study used a Quasi Experimental research model with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study population was all students of class XI MIA SMA Negeri Samadua, South Aceh Regency which consisted of two classes. Both classes were used as research samples by forming an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group is a class that uses a REACT-based contextual learning model in physics learning, while the control group is a class that uses a conventional learning model through the lecture method. The instruments used were RPP, LKPD and test questions. The pretest and posttest in this study were used to measure the students' initial and final abilities in physics. The data analysis technique used is the t-test with a significance level of 5%. The results of hypothesis testing obtained tcount (2.13) ttable (1.68), meaning that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. These results interpreted that there was a significant influence on the REACT-based contextual learning model on the mastery of physics concepts for students of class XI MIA SMA Samadua, South Aceh Regency.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to identify the effectiveness of using SAC in distance learning physics. To see its effectiveness based on the value of creativity and student learning outcomes. This study usesquasi-experimental, there were two groups that were randomly selected, then given a pretest and after the next treatment was given a postest to find out whether there was a difference between the experimental group and the control group. The participants were all class X TKJ SMKN 1 Baktiya students in the first semester, totaling 37 students. The first treatment is using power point media as a learning resource. For the second treatment using SAC media in designing Android-based learning media. Data obtainedThe learning outcomes of students who are taught using instructional media are designed with an SAC of 70.55 and a standard deviation of 7.83. Meanwhile, using power point media the average student learning outcomes were 73.15 and a standard deviation was 7.49. Also obtained a sign price of 0.15 0.05 means that Ho is accepted. So it can be concluded that the use of SAC-based learning media is effective in increasing learning outcomes and student learning creativity during the Covid-19 pandemic.]]>

<![CDATA[The critical thinking skills of class 10th from senior high school Banda Aceh students have not been trained in the learning process, students are not given the opportunity to analyze a problem, identify, conclude or come up with new ideas or an action on a problem. In fact, research shows that the learning process of biology in schools does not encourage students to think critically, thus affecting low learning outcomes. The research objective was to determine the increase in critical thinking skills in class 10th skills on the concept of environmental pollution and knowing the differences in critical thinking skills of class 10th students on the concept of environmental pollution in the experimental and control class. Data were collected from March to April 2019. The approach of this research is to use a quantitative, evaluation research type, the method used is quasi-experimental, with a factorial design group pre-test post-test. The sample in this study amounted to 253 students from two high schools in Banda Aceh. Essay questions are used to measure students' critical thinking skills. The data analysis used ANCOVA at a significant level of 0.05. Hypothesis test results show the value of ρ α, 0.00 0.05. The conclusion of this study is that the application of the PBL integrated with the mindmap can improve students' critical thinking skills. There are differences in students' critical thinking skills using integrated mindmapping PBL, PBL, mindmapping, and conventional.]]>
