Learning Electricity Through Practice
Science learning does not always have to take place through explanations in the classroom. At Peduli Anak Junior High School, students are encouraged to understand scientific concepts through direct experience, allowing them to see how theory works in practice.
Recently, students took part in a science practical session on simple electrical circuits. During the activity, they assembled batteries, wires, and small light bulbs to observe how electric current flows and produces light.
Making Simple Electrical Circuits
Working in groups, students arranged the components to form a complete circuit so the bulb could light up. Each group experimented with different connections to ensure the current could flow properly.
The process was not always successful on the first try. Some groups needed to adjust the wire positions or improve the connections. Through trial, observation, and correction, students began to understand that electricity flows only when a circuit is complete and properly assembled.
Building Accuracy and Teamwork
In addition to learning about electrical concepts, the activity also encouraged collaboration. Students discussed their ideas, shared responsibilities, and recorded their observations throughout the session.
With guidance from Ms. Ima, the practical activity was carried out safely and in an organized manner. The experience helped students develop careful working habits, a systematic approach, and a sense of responsibility for their tasks.
This hands-on experience gave students a clearer understanding of how electrical concepts work because they were directly involved in the process of building and testing their circuits. Active participation like this helps strengthen understanding while fostering careful and structured learning habits.
Activities like this reflect Peduli Anak’s commitment to providing a learning environment that supports both knowledge and skill development, ensuring that every child has access to meaningful and quality education
