A biannual chemistry demonstration-based show named “Energy and U” was created to extend the general outreach themes of STEM fields and a college education with a specific goal: to teach the First Law of Thermodynamics to elementary school students. Energy is a central concept in chemical education, most STEM disciplines, and it is the concept at the foundation of many of the greatest challenges faced by society today. The effectiveness of the program was analyzed using a clicker survey system. This study provides one of the first examples of incorporating real-time feedback into large- scale chemistry-based outreach events for elementary school students in order to quantify and better understand the broader impact and learning outcomes.

The level of motor skills of elementary school students can be influenced by many things such as movement experience, the environment, and facilities for learning so that it also impacts on learning outcomes. This study intends to find out the differences in physical education and sports learning outcomes of floor gymnastic material from elementary school students who have high motor skills. Floor gymnastic learning material is used in two cooperative learning model strategies (Student Teams Achievement Divisions and Jigsaw). The research approach method used was an experiment with a Pre-Experimental design. The students' motor skills were measured using the Johnson Fundamental Skills Test, while the series of floor motion exercises for Grade V Elementary School students were used as research instruments. The results of his study showed that there were differences in physical education learning outcomes and sports materials on floor gymnastics, groups of students with the STAD strategy got better learning outcomes compared to the Jigsaw strategy group. So, it can be concluded that the use of the STAD strategy cooperative learning model for students with high motor skills gives a better influence than Jigsaw's strategy on learning outcomes of physical education and sports learning exercises for floor gymnastics.AbstrakTingkat keterampilan motorik siswa Sekolah Dasar bisa dipengaruhi oleh banyak hal seperti pengalaman gerak, lingkungan, serta fasilitas untuk pembelajaran sehingga berdampak pula terhadap hasil belajarnya. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk mengetahui perbedaan hasil belajar pendidikan jasmani dan olahraga materi senam lantai dari siswa Sekolah Dasar yang memiliki keterampilan motorik tinggi. Materi pembelajaran senam lantai digunakan pada dua strategi model pembelajaran kooperatif (student Teams Achievement Divisions dan Jigsaw). Metode Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen dengan desain Pre-Experimental. Keterampilan motorik siswa diukur menggunakan Johnson Fundamental Skills Test, sedangkan rangkaian gerak senam lantai untuk siswa Sekolah Dasar kelas V digunakan sebagai instrumen penelitian. Hasil penelitiannya menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan hasil belajar pendidikan jasmani dan olahraga materi senam lantai, kelompok siswa dengan strategi STAD mendapatkan hasil belajar yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kelompok strategi Jigsaw. Sehingga, dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa penggunaan model pembelajaran kooperatif strategi STAD kepada siswa dengan keterampilan motorik tinggi memberikan pengaruh yang lebih baik daripada strategi Jigsaw terhadap hasil belajar pendidikan jasmani dan olahraga materi pembelajaran senam lantai.

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh media elektronik LCD terhadap prestasi belajar Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Siswa Kelas V Sekolah Dasar. Tujuannya untuk mengungkapkan pengaruh media elektronik LCD terhadap prestasi penggunaan belajar Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Siswa  kelas V Sekolah Dasar. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian pre-experiment yaitu rancangan penelitian eksperimen yang hanya mempergunakan kelompok eksperimen saja, tanpa kelompok komtrol (pembanding) sampel subyek dipilih seadanya tanpa mempergunakan randomisasi. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah “One Group Design Pretest-Postest”. Pembelajaran diukur sebelum dan sesudah pemberian perlakuan. Jumlah populasi hanya 25 siswa. Maka dalam penentuan sampel hanya menggunakan kelompok eksperimen saja tanpa kelompok kontrol (perbandingan), subyek  dipilih tanpa mempergunakan randomosasi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan  dengan mengunakan instrumen-instrumen yang sudah disebutkan diatas yaitu hasil ulangan harian siswa dan respon siswa/ pengisian angket siswa. Data yang dikumpulkan akan dianalisis secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Skor rata-rata hasil belajar IPS siswa yang diajar sebelum penggunaan media elektronik LCD (Pretest) Sekolah Dasar adalah bervariasi dengan hasil belajar rata-rata 71,4% dengan standar deviasi 7,788. Sedangkan Skor rata-rata hasil belajar IPS siswa yang diajar setelah (Posttest) penggunaan media elektronik LCD Sekolah Dasar adalah bervariasi juga dengan hasil belajar rata-rata 78,84% dengan standar deviasi 7,949. Berdasarkan pembahasan yang telah diuraikan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa hasil belajar IPS meningkat setelah diterapkan penggunaan media elektronik LCD pada proses belajar mengajar. This research was conducted to find out the influence of LCD electronic media to the learning achievement of Social Science of Grade V Elementary School Students.  The objective is to reveal the influence of LCD electronic media on the achievement of learning Social Sciences of Grade V Elementary School students.  The type of research used is pre-experiment or pre-experiment research that is experimental research design which only use experiment group only, without group of controller (comparison) sample of selected subjects pickup without using randomization.  The design used is "One Group Design Pretest-Posttest". Learning is measured before and after treatment. The population is only 25 students. So in the sample determination using only the experimental group alone without the control group (comparison), the subjects were selected without using randomosatio . Data collection is done by using the instruments mentioned above that are result of student's daily test and student's response / student questionnaire filling. The data collected will be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The average score of students' IPS learning outcomes taught prior to the use of electronic LCD media (Pretest) Primary Schools was varied with an average learning outcome of 71.4% with a standard deviation of 7.788. While the mean score of IPS learning outcomes of students who were taught after (Posttest) use of electronic media LCD Primary School is varied also with the average learning outcome 78.84% with standard deviation of 7.949. Based on the discussion that has been described, it can be concluded that the results of IPS learning increased after applied the use of LCD electronic media on the learning process.
