The purpose of this study is to improve the learning outcomes of students’ natural science on material changes in natural appearance. This research is a participatory type of collaborative classroom action research conducted in two cycles. Each cycle is held three times, consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects in this study were fourth-grade students at YPPK elementary school Sta. Theresia Buti totaling 34 students consisting of 19 male students and 15 female students. Data collection is obtained through interviews, observation, and evaluation of learning outcomes. The form of data analysis uses qualitative descriptive. The results of the analysis of student learning outcomes data in the first cycle showed that the percentage of student learning outcomes only reached 53.6% with an average grade value of 58.3 below the value of a predetermined indicator. In the second cycle, the percentage of student learning completeness increased to 82.4% with a class average value of 79.2. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the learning of natural science in the material changes in the appearance of the earth increases in each cycle by involving students directly and conducting experiments.
