The Regularity of Science in Moonlight Sonata Instrument is used in The Design of Physics Learning

Abstract

The main purpose of edutainment is to increase enthusiasm for learning. However, the implementation of physics learning still lacks emphasis on the learning process that meaningful and relevant, especially in Indonesia. This study was purposed to make the design of physics learning by integrating science with music, that is applying usage Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig Van Beethoven as a physical learning instrument in sound wave material. The results of the design were learning guide that contains the regularity of science in Moonlight Sonata instrument, and the experiment of making a simple musical instrument using these scientific regularities. The principle of learning design was showed the regularity of the sound waves on the Moonlight Sonata instrument along with explanations using basic physics concepts about the sound wave. Based on the study results concluded that the learning guide can be used as an instrument that delivers to the design of physics learning that meaningful and relevant. Keywords—regularity of science, Moonlight Sonata, physics, sound waves, learning design
