Abstract

This study is a class action that aims to improve the activity and class V student learning outcomes in science lessons. This research was conducted in two cycles with the execution time for three months, namely in February 2015 to April 2015. The number of students who become the sample in this study were 25 students consisting of 12 men - men and 18 women.
