7th Graders of SMP Al-Siddiq International Experiment with Homemade Water Filters and Write Procedure Texts

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.By Umair Shoddiq, S.I.Kom

Sunshine, Rice Fields, and Children’s Smiles

On Thursday, 13 November 2025, TK Al Siddiq International carried out an Educational Field Trip (EFT) to Scientia Square Park (SQP) in Tangerang. This activity became one of the key moments in the early childhood learning process, where the children were invited to learn directly outside the classroom through real and enjoyable experiences. The field trip served not only as an educational activity, but also as an opportunity for exploration, social interaction, and character development. From as early as 07.00 WIB, the children had gathered at the departure point, Bella Vista. The activity began with initial documentation, a warm welcome from the Head of School, and a collective prayer for a smooth and blessed journey. During the trip to Scientia Square Park, the children did not simply sit quietly; instead, they filled the time by reciting murojaah together, allowing the activity to remain Islamic in atmosphere and full of meaning. Upon arrival, the children continued with further documentation, put on wristband tickets as identification, and were guided to organise their belongings. All students were then divided into two large groups to ensure the activities ran in a more orderly and structured manner. Each group took part in the same series of activities in different sequences. The programme began with an introduction to various types of birds and chickens, followed by observing unique animals such as alpacas. Direct interaction with these animals aimed to foster a sense of love for living creatures as well as developing empathy and courage. Next, the children participated in rice pounding and rice planting activities in the mini paddy field provided in SQP’s agricultural education area. The rice-pounding activity was intended to introduce the traditional process of preparing a staple food, as well as instilling appreciation for the food they consume every day. Meanwhile, planting rice gave them first-hand experience of the origins of food and the importance of caring for plants. By stepping directly into the paddy field, the children learned about responsibility, patience, and the natural cycle in a concrete way. The day concluded with a water-play session, which served as both recreation and a refreshing break after the entire series of educational activities. After cleaning up and changing clothes, the children prepared for the journey home. This EFT left a lasting impression on the children, teachers, and parents. It was not merely a trip, but an experience filled with meaningful educational value. It is hoped that through activities like this, the children of TK Al Siddiq International will grow into active individuals who care for the environment and have a strong sense of curiosity about the world around them.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Measuring Clarity: Al-Siddiq International Middle School Students Learn Water pH Testing During ESNO 2025

The morning air in the main hall of Pondok Pesantren Umar Bin Khottob Plus, Gunung Malang, still carried the chill of the highlands. At exactly 7:30 a.m., dozens of students from Al-Siddiq International Middle School sat in a semicircle, each holding a bottle filled with water collected from Mata Air Ciburial—a spring they confidently described as clearer than branded bottled water. Amid the bustle of the Educational Students Night Out (ESNO) 2025, science class took an unusual shape. Instead of desks and whiteboards, students attended a presentation on water pH testing delivered by their Science teacher, Mr. Muhammad Fathul Ihsan, M.Res. With a calm but firm tone, he began with a disarming question: “If water looks clear, does that always mean it’s safe?” A low murmur swept across the room—curiosity awakened. Mr. Ihsan explained the fundamentals of pH, how acidity and alkalinity determine water’s potability, and how natural springs can still carry unseen contaminants. He demonstrated color changes in pH indicators, weaving scientific principles with everyday examples. The session was concise, visual, and sharply focused—Tempo-style clarity in a classroom setting. Holding up the Ciburial sample, he reminded them, “Clarity doesn’t guarantee purity. Science helps us see what the eye cannot.” Students inspected their water samples—comparing clarity, hue, and scent—turning the hall into an impromptu open-air laboratory. Although full testing would take place once they returned from ESNO, excitement was already visible. Each student would later conduct their own pH measurement back at school, using universal indicators or simple pH meters. The follow-up activity was designed not just for observation, but for students to experience the scientific process firsthand. Outside the hall, the noise of ESNO continued. Inside, attention remained fixed on a bottle of mountain spring water, a pH indicator, and a curiosity sharpened by real-world exploration.By Umair Shoddiq, S.I.Kom

How Exciting—Eggs Can Sink, Float in the Middle, and Rise to the Surface!

On Monday and Tuesday, 3–4 November 2025, the TK B pupils of Al Siddiq International took part in an exciting activity in their science class: an experiment investigating how eggs can sink, float in the middle, or rise to the surface. This activity was specially designed to introduce simple science concepts through hands-on experiences that are enjoyable and easy for young children to understand. The experiment was guided directly by the class teachers. The activity began with an introduction, during which the teacher greeted the children and explained that they would be conducting a fun experiment using water, salt, and eggs. The children looked enthusiastic and curious, as this was a brand-new experience for them. Step by step, the teacher demonstrated the experiment process. Three glasses were prepared, each filled with water and a different amount of salt: one with a small amount of salt, one with a moderate amount, and another with a large amount. After that, an egg was placed into each glass one by one. The results amazed the children. The egg in the glass with a small amount of salt sank to the bottom. The egg in the glass with a moderate amount of salt floated in the middle of the water, while the egg in the glass with a high amount of salt rose to the surface. This became an exciting moment that sparked the children’s curiosity about how water and salt can affect objects placed in it. The aim of this experiment was to introduce basic scientific concepts such as density and buoyancy in a concrete and enjoyable way. Through this activity, the children learned that objects may sink or float depending on the density of the liquid surrounding them. They also practised observing, comparing, and drawing simple conclusions from the results. This activity not only enriched the children’s scientific knowledge but also helped develop critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. Through active learning methods like this, the children do not simply learn theories—they directly experience how science works in the real world, in ways appropriate for their age and stage of development.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
