Moreover, the teacher’s busy teaching schedule was also the reason for not doing experiment activities.” This was stated by one participant of the training held on May 31, 2014. The training of Science and Mathematics Teaching Aids Media Development was attended by elementary school teachers from Bandung and Bekasi.

In this event participants were invited to have various experiments that can be conducted by using common every day things.

The experiments include:

• Cartesian diver
• Object observation by using periscope
• Center of gravity of someone standing close to the wall
• Observation of voltage value and the lamp light by using orange
• Making a simple bridge by using straws.
• Technique to put a boiled egg into an Erlenmeyer flask
• Crashing an empty can
• Arithmetic wrapping game
• Cube volume game
• Clock model introduction
• 2-dimension Dienes Blocks
• Number card game
• Making lungs model
• Candle light observation
• Making a secret letter
• Making the mosquito spray

Participants were very enthusiastic in following the training activities, particularly during the experiment demonstration by teaching aids medium. One participant said that this training has opened their mind on developing educational aids, whether it is science or mathematics. Therefore, the learning process in school would be more interesting and fun.
