By setting specific and explicit objectives, the teacher provides direction for students' focus, paving the way for more targeted and effective learning. In this context, the objectives were crafted to ensure that students can not only recognize the different types of electrification but also apply this knowledge practically to determine the resulting polarity of an electrification process.

Tujuan Utama:

1. Enable students to differentiate the main types of electrification: by contact, induction, and friction.

2. Develop the ability to predict the electrostatic charge in objects after electrification processes, identifying negative and positive charges.

Tujuan Tambahan:

1. Encourage active participation from students in discussions and problem-solving during the lesson.

Pengantar

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

The Introduction stage is designed to engage students and connect the knowledge they’ve previously gained to real-world scenarios. By presenting problem situations, the teacher encourages students to think critically about the topic, laying the groundwork for deeper understanding. The contextualization aims to demonstrate the relevance of the subject, enhancing student interest and showing how knowledge applies in various everyday contexts.

Situasi Berbasis Masalah

1. Imagine you're in a dry environment, and when you touch a metal doorknob, you feel a small shock. Can you explain the electrification process happening here?

2. Think about a person shuffling along a carpet in wool socks. When they touch someone else, a small spark jumps between them. What causes this, and what type of electrification is at play?

Kontekstualisasi

Electrification is a phenomenon we encounter in everyday life, from combing our hair to thunderstorms. Understanding the different types of electrification and their practical applications is essential, not just for grasping how electronic devices operate but to promote safety in various settings. For instance, knowing about electrification is vital to prevent static electricity accidents in industries dealing with flammable materials.

Pengembangan

Durasi: (70 - 75 minutes)

The Development stage is crafted to allow students to apply the electrification concepts they learned earlier interactively and practically. Through engaging and challenging activities, students can explore different types of electrification in a controlled environment, facilitating understanding and retention. This approach strengthens learning and fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Saran Kegiatan

Kegiatan 1 - The Great Electrification Challenge

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Apply theoretical knowledge of friction and contact electrification in a practical setting while developing observation and recording skills.

- Deskripsi: In this activity, students will work in groups of up to 5 to tackle a hands-on challenge involving friction and contact electrification. Each group will receive a kit containing various objects like glass rods, wool and plastic fabrics, balloons, and small metal pieces. The challenge is to electrify a glass rod and then use it to electrify other objects in the kit while recording their observations in a logbook.

- Instruksi:

• Split the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Hand out the electrification kits to each group.

• Explain the principles of electrification by friction and contact.

• Ask each group to select a glass rod and electrify it using one of the fabrics from the kit.

• Instruct students to electrify other objects (like balloons) using the electrified rod.

• Guide students to log their observations about the electrification process in their logbook.

• Conclude with a class discussion where each group shares their findings.

Kegiatan 2 - The Static Electricity Factory

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Understand and apply the concepts of friction and contact electrification while developing teamwork and scientific communication skills.

- Deskripsi: Students, organized in groups, will simulate a factory setting where they manipulate electrically charged materials to produce static electricity. Using simple equipment like fabrics, plastics, and metals, they will apply concepts of electrification by friction and contact to generate and measure static electricity.

- Instruksi:

• Organize students into groups of up to 5.

• Introduce the factory scenario where they must 'produce' static electricity.

• Distribute materials (fabrics, plastics, metals) and measuring equipment (like an electroscope or static balance).

• Instruct students to electrify materials in various combinations and measure the generated static electricity.

• Each group must prepare a report detailing the electrification processes used, the amounts of static electricity generated, and their observations from the experiment.

• Hold a report presentation in class so groups can share their results and insights.

Kegiatan 3 - Investigators of Invisible Electrification

> Durasi: (60 - 70 minutes)

- Tujuan: Explore the phenomenon of electrification by induction, enhancing skills in observation, experimentation, and scientific communication.

- Deskripsi: In this activity, student groups will investigate electrification by induction. Each group will receive materials including an electroscope, fabrics, a metal rod, and a conductive fabric. Their challenge is to use the electroscope to detect induced electrification in different objects and explain the induction process.

- Instruksi:

• Divide students into groups of up to 5.

• Provide each group with a set of materials like the electroscope, fabrics, metal rod, and conductive fabric.

• Explain the concept of electrification by induction.

• Instruct students to electrify an object with the metal rod and observe the electroscope's behavior.

• Students should repeat the experiment with the conductive fabric and compare their results.

• Each group must create a presentation explaining the induction process and their observations throughout the experiment.

Umpan Balik

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

The purpose of this stage is to reinforce the learning gained through practical activities, allowing students to articulate their observations and discuss findings with peers. This dialogue helps cement electrification concepts and enhances understanding of the practical applications of the phenomena studied. Furthermore, sharing challenges and solutions allows students to learn from one another, promoting a deeper and collaborative grasp of the topic.

Diskusi Kelompok

To kick off the group discussion, the teacher can gather all students in a circle, starting with a brief introduction: 'Today, we explored various types of electrification through hands-on activities. I’d like each group to share their most fascinating discoveries and any challenges they encountered during the experiments. Let's begin with Group 1.' This way, the teacher steers the conversation, ensuring each group has a chance to contribute while keeping discussions focused and productive.

Pertanyaan Kunci

1. What were the biggest surprises or discoveries you made during the hands-on activities?
