Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study is a media creation for the deciding tool revealed that the position of the heavenly bodies can be created and used to determine the position of the heavenly bodies so that it can be used as a learning media in the Earth and space science course. The working principle of this tool is to use the coordinates of the horizon. Tools used i.e. compass, bows, tripod, and camera. To test the accuracy of the application use Stellarium mobile version 1.25. The results of this study are to test the accuracy of the altitude angle obtained its accuracy level results 100%. Whereas, in order to test the accuracy of the altitude reached the corner of 99.86%.</p>

Highlights

We know that, learning the Nature of Science (NoS) is inseparable from learning media use the form tool demonstrations and experiments
Arsyad in Wulandari (2015) stated that the media can contribute to learning delivery learning messages can be more standard, learning can be more interesting, more interactive learning by applying theory study, implementation time of learning can be shortened, the quality of learning can be improved, the process of learning can take place whenever and wherever needed, the positive attitude of the students towards the learning material and learning process can in increase, and the role of a teacher morph into a positive direction
The facts in the field find that learning Earth and Space Science (ESS) in schools and colleges has not been backed up with practical activities

Summary

Introduction

We know that, learning the Nature of Science (NoS) is inseparable from learning media use the form tool demonstrations and experiments. As one branch of NoS, ESS should be learned through practical activities, because of the practical work is an integral part of teaching and learning activities. This is in line with the findings of the MoE, that learning science in school generally theoretical, through lectures, discussions, and problem resolution, no experiments or demonstration. To this many common reasons expressed, among other things because the teacher had never trained to carry out practical work, absence of laboratory space, and no practical tools
