Abstract:
To improve the quality of science such physics requires a full involvement of the
learners in the learning process. In the absence of such involvement, physics would
merely become teaching the theories about physics. Therefore, the use of laboratory
in which students have experience in learning physics through learning activities
would be a strategic approach in teaching and learning physics. Hence, the teaching
and learning process of physics may avoid rote learning through instructive teaching
of learning materials. In general, this research aims to disclose the benefit of developing
Mini Laboratory Equipments pf Physics for junior high school core subject: geometrical
optics (light).The type of research is a developmental of research. It employs the Four
D Model comprising of four phases. Mini laboratory equipments of physics for junior
high school The data were collected and analyzed by using descriptive statistics to
activities of learners and learning results. The results indicate that, level of learner
activities is quite high is 69,89 in average or in good category, The conclusion of this
researd' i, that a set of prototypes for learning physics through developing mini
laboratory of physics for junior high school are highly effective in enhancing the
students learning physics
