ABSTRACT

 

The main purpose of edutainment is to increase the spirit of learning. Learners explore, interact, and repeat the material subjects in a pleasant atmosphere (Green and McNeese. 2007:2). However, the implementation of physics learning still lacks emphasis on the learning process with the pleasant atmosphere, and lacks of the development of learning strategies, especially in Indonesia. This study purposed to make the design of physics learning by integrating science with music, that is Moonlight Sonata by Ludwin Van Beethoven as a physical learning instrument in sound wave material. The results of the design are in the form of learning guidelines that contain 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 is to show the regularity of the sound waves on the Moonlight Sonata instrument along with explanations using basic physics concepts about sound wave. Based on the study results concluded that Moonlight Sonata instrument can be used as an instrument development in physics learning. However, it is expected that further study on the success and the effectiveness of this learning design.
