Spread not done. Data collection is done by validating and trying out the tools developed. The equipment design has been designed, validated by three experts and practices and then limited tested in class IV of SDN Dadok Tunggul Hitam Padang to determine the alignments and effectiveness of the equipment developed. From the results of this research, it can be seen that experimental learning oriented science equipment for elementary school consisting of lesson plans, and student worksheets has a very valid category.
