ABSTRACT
To learn the earth and space
science, you should explain about many things. For example: historical of
earth, solar system, and universe; the dynamical process in the earth surface
and the space, etc. You should use any instruments and methods to explain them.
But, if there are nothing facilities, you must be creative to make your
students understanding the matter. Beside that, you should ask your students to
look their surrounding to get new knowledge or to applicated their known in the
class to the reality.
Keywords: dynamical process, look surroundings
Introduction
Learning earth and space science is needed many instruments and
methods. Why? Because the range of matter is very wide. For example, you must explain
for your students about historical of earth forming and is mean you must be
explain first about some theories about forming solar system and universe.
After earth was formed, you must continue to explain about the dynamical
process that happened in the bottom and the surface of the earth. You must
explain about volcanism, earthquake, plate tectonic, tsunami, geology disaster,
etc.
To learn earth and space science, its needed explaining about solar
system and the universe. You must explain about galaxies, stars, planets,
satellite, komet, what happened in our solar system, rotation and revolution,
etc. So, you need any times before come in the class because you should bring
some instruments and methods.
One method that should you try is field study. You could have ask your
students to observe the surrounding them and find out the phenomenon that has
been related to their subject in the class. If your located near from mountain,
your students would be learn about how the mountain formed, what kinds of the
rocks or the soils, the mountain is active or not, etc. If your located from
sea, your students would be learn about why there one place as ocean and the
other place as continent, how about the morfology of the sea, how to measure
the depth of the sea, what caused and the effect of the warm current and cold
current, relationship about tides and gravity of moon and the sun, etc.
Method
There are some methods to learning
earth and space science, for example: observation, discussion, experiment,
field study, problem solving, and project. Firstly,
you should be understanding the characteristic of the matter. After that, you should be know
what the instrument needed, and you should be creative to make it. Basicly,
instruments should have support our methods and the purpose is how to make the
matter could be understood by our students easily.

To explain about the dynamics of lithosphere and to describes about
solar system and the universe, you should use the video or many software to do
for example powerpoint, flash, etc. If yo near from the volcanoes, you should
be guide your students to close. But, if its imposibble, you could use the
multimedia to cover.
Result and Discussion
Learning earth and space science isn’t easy.
But, its possible way that you colud have many instruments and methods to
explain them. The keyword is “be craetive!” There are many sources that you
could have been getting by internet, some lecturer or scientist in
universities, or in your group teacher in your district. Perhaps, from your
students project you would be get many new knowledge.
Actually, there are many problems in
our school that didn’t solved, foe example:
a.
Intrusion
sea water (our groundwater is salty).
b.
Annual flood
(it make the access to our school stopped).
c.
Minimalize
the facilities to support our learning process (there are no laboratory, no
library, no mosque, some class haven’t table and chair).
d.
Less
motivation from our students and their parents to learning well (almost of them
just orinted to get the certificate to get the jobs).
These pictures bellow will be describe our challenges in our school (about
annual flood):
