Project Based Learning (PjBL) Based on Science Practice Tools on Measuring Instrument Material

Abstract

This learning aims to make students better understand the implementation of measuring instruments in science learning in everyday life. The research method used in this study is a project based class experiment. This method invites students to analyze directly the problem to improve students thinking skills. Students are asked to divide groups and practice from each measuring instrument given. The tools and materials used are scales, ruler, vernier caliper, screw micrometer, and thermometer, while the materials used are glasses, hot water, and ice water, coins, marbles, rice, and sweet potatoes. From the results of measurements that have been made, it is  found that each measurement of the five measuring instruments is of the same value and also has a different value, but not too far away, the results only range from a few numbers.
