Effect of Problem Based Learning Model on the Chemical Reaction Rate toward Critical Thinking Ability of Students
This study aimed to identify the effect of the problem-based learning model on the reaction rate toward critical thinking abilities of students of MAN 1 Palu. This study was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. Sampling was taken by purposive sampling technique with the sample of class XI MIA 3 as the experimental group (n = 18) and class XI MIA 4 as the control group (n = 14). The results of the study and data analysis obtained an average value of students' critical thinking skills from the questionnaire that the experimental group was 82.95%, higher than the control group (73.43%). The average value of students' critical thinking skills from the description test showed that the experimental group was 79.42%, higher than the control group (58.02%). Students' critical thinking skills data using parametric statistical analysis with t-test (right-party t-test) obtained tcount > ttable was 6.83 > 2.04 which corresponds to the H1 acceptance area, therefore H1 was accepted and H0 rejected. This means that students 'critical thinking skills in the experimental group were higher than in the control group. The results of this study concluded that the problem-based learning model had a significant influence on the thinking ability of students in grade XI on the reaction rate at MAN 1 Palu
Analysis of Flavanoids in Flour and Biscuit based on Chayote
Chayote-based flour and biscuits are the development of healthy food products that contain flavonoid compounds that can be used to protect and reduce skin damage to UV rays. This study aimed to determine the flavonoid content in chayote-based flour and biscuits using the AlCl3 method with a UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 520 and 700 nm. The results obtained the flavonoid levels in chayote-based flour and biscuits of 0.325±0.011 mg/L and 0.117±0.023 mg/L or equivalent to 0.812±0.028 mg/100 gram and 0.291±0.058 mg/100 gram. This study concluded that chayote-based flour and biscuits contained flavonoids can be used as a source of antioxidants and a source of beneficial nutrition

(2-tailed) 0,000 data based on this decision, the hypothesis is accepted if the sig (2-tailed) value is smaller than 0.05 so that it can be concluded that there is a positive effect using practical learning on the creative thinking ability of class XI students on acid-base material at SMAN 7 Palu
The Booklet Development of Inorganic Fertilization System Based on Problem
The use of inorganic fertilizer in the tillage was mostly used by Sikkanese. The reason was the large supply of inorganic fertilizer on the market, fast response, easy to absorb, and not to waste times. In the implementation, inorganic fertilizer was not used accordance with the stipulation of the four rights (4T): right dose, right time, right place, and right source. The result was the decrease of soil quality and the death of soil-degrading microorganisms so that the soil became infertile. Therefore, the booklet as a learning media gave the right information about the proper fertilization system. The research aims to know the appropriateness of the booklet development of inorganic fertilization system. The method used was the research and development (R n D) method by adopting a Borg and Gall model. The sample was taken by using purposive sampling. The analysis technical was validity analysis (valid percentage) and appropriate analysis (Widoyoko categorial). The result of the study showed that the booklet was appropriated to use as a medium of information for the farmer with the feasibility category both at the initial field trial and field trial stages. Furthermore, in the field trial implementation, the booklet was suitable to use with the very good feasibility category

Flower Extracts of Cage Plants (Canavalia virosa) as an Indicator of Acid Base
Cage plants (Canavalia virosa) are classified as nuts. This study aims to prove the flowers of the cage plants as acid-base indicators and determine the type of acid-base titration that is suitable for indicators of cage plants. The flowers of the cage plants were macerated with ethanol. Extras were tested as indicators in acid-base solutions, buffer solutions, and compared with phenolphthalein and methyl orange for acid-base titration, namely: strong acid with a strong base, a weak acid with a strong base, and weak base with strong acid. The results obtained in this study, namely: flower extracts of cage plants in strong red acid, in weak acid pink, in strong green bases, and weak bases in light green. In a buffer solution of pH 1 to pH 11, the flower extract of the cage plants gives 4 color groups, namely: a buffer solution with pH 1 colored red, pH 3 colored pink, pH 5 to pH 9 being light green, and pH 11 being dark blue. Cage plant flower extract can be used as an indicator of acid-base, cage plant flower extract can be used on strong-base strong acid titration, strong weak-acid base, and weak-strong base acid titration
