Abstract

This study aims to improve the activity and learning outcomes of fourth grade students of  Primary School 8 Metro Center on science lessons on the structure and function of plant parts. Researchers involve peers to examine, observe and find a way out. This research was conducted by taking the subjects of fourth grade students of Primary School 8 Metro Center with 25 students consisting of 8 male students and 17 female students. While the time is held in the first semester of the academic year 2014/2015 where researchers as the classroom teachers.
