On Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, the 7th-grade students of SMP Al-Siddiq International participated in an engaging and hands-on learning activity. During their Indonesian Language class, they learned how to write procedure texts using the Bahasa Indonesia Grade 7 textbook from the Merdeka Curriculum.
The session was guided by their Indonesian Language teacher, Miss Wafda Nurul Imani, S.Pd., who explained the structure of a proper procedure text—including its purpose, required materials, and step-by-step instructions.
To deepen their understanding, the students carried out an experiment by making a homemade water filtration device, allowing them to combine practical activities with writing tasks.
Students created the water filter using a recycled plastic bottle. They cut off the bottom of the bottle, flipped it upside down, and placed several filtration layers inside: cotton, soil and sand, and gravel. Water was poured through the top opening—the cut end of the bottle—so the students could observe how each layer helped filter out impurities.
Through this activity, the students not only practiced writing procedure texts according to Indonesian language rules but also learned basic scientific principles about filtration.
