Science museums often hold various science education activities in exhibition halls to enhance visitors' cognition and comprehension of science and technology. However, the experience and knowledge accumulated during the participation in technological experiential and learning activities merits exploration. This study conducts a quantitative survey and qualitatively analyzes the data based on the taxonomy of educational objectives that are outlined in the revised version of Bloom's taxonomy handbook.

This type of research is qualitative research, which focuses on the implementation of naationalist character education in grade VI SD. Nationalist character education for elementary school children, especially in grade VI, is a process of fertilizing from an early age for them. In nationalist character education there are civic education subjects that teach the values contained in Pancasila and teach and educate students to become individuals who have habits of national character in their daily lives. Seeing the current condition of children, students have decreased in terms of implementing national character in their lives. Therefore, schools through civic education are expected to be able to train and educate students so that students have a nationalist attitude in their lives. A nationalist attitude is an understanding attitude that has cultural and regional harmony. They also have the same ideals and goals so that they feel the desire to defend their country, both from internal and external threats.

Abstract Background Children often do not drink enough water. Consumption of water is associated with several health benefits, including prevention of overweight and reduction of dental caries. Drinking water can also improve children's attention and memory and sufficient water intake is important especially during the school day. A pilot programme to increase the tap water consumption of elementary school children started in 2018 - the “H2NOE Water Schools” in Lower Austria programme. The intervention schools received a free water bottle for each child, an information workshop for teachers and teaching materials. Methods In an intervention study with a control group in a before-and-after design we examined whether the “H2NOE water school” can lead to a change in the drinking behaviour of the pupils. All children of the 3rd grade in the 22 intervention schools (IG) and 32 control schools (CG) were surveyed using a paper-pencil questionnaire in autumn 2018 and in June 2019. We used multi-level analyses taking into account clusters at class level to analyse the beverage consumption data. Results In total, data of 1242 students were available at baseline and 1164 students at the end of the intervention. The consumption of tap water per day improved in both groups in a similar way: in the IG from 4.1 glasses (95% CI 3.8-4.3) to 4.7 (4.5-5.0) and in the CG from 3.1 glasses (95% CI 2.9-3.4) to 3.9 (3.6-4.2). Soft drink consumption remained stable in both groups, but juice consumption decreased in the IG compared to the CG. Conclusions The children in the intervention schools drank more tap water after 1 school year with the intervention than at the beginning. However, this was also evident in the control schools. The measurement of drinking habits in the CG may have been intervention enough to bring about changes or to initiate projects in these schools. The different seasons of the measurement (autumn and early summer) could have an influence on the results. Key messages A school-based intervention providing free water bottles improved the water consumption of elementary school children. The mere measurement of beverage consumption in the control schools also resulted in increased water consumption.

Elementary school children tend to have very diverse interests. One of them is watching cartoons from television shows or YouTube. Elementary school-age children tend to enter a phase of imitating what they see, hear and feel. This is very important for all parents to pay attention to, because the movies they watch can affect the character or personality of the child. This study aims to determine the moral values ​​in the lion king film for elementary school children that can be used as character reinforcement. This research uses a qualitative approach with a narrative study type of research that analyzes the content of the lion king film. The way to analyze the data in this study is by playing the film, then recording the contents of the lion king film and transferring the results of the notes to the form of dialogue between characters which shows the existence of moral values ​​that can be used as character strengthening. The results of this study found that there were eleven moral values ​​in accordance with Thomas Lickona's (1991) theory of knowing goodness, doing good, and loving kindness. In addition, these moral values ​​also have relevance to character strengthening in accordance with the 2017 Ministry of Education and Culture regulations. The impact of the lion king film itself is expected to strengthen children's character and develop motivation in children's activities in their daily lives. It can be seen that the lion king film has moral values ​​that should be imitated by elementary school children.

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
