Abstrak

The background of this study because of the unavailability of teaching materials that can facilitate active learning by students as well as creating students centered learning in a class III Elementary School 10 Surau Gadang. The purpose of this study was to develop teaching materials in the form of science modules with a constructivism approach to material properties for III students of SD Negeri 10 Surau Gadang.

              This study uses a type of Research and Development (R & D) research. The development model used in developing modules with constructivism approaches is a 3-D development model consisting of 3 stages of define, design, and develop. This research was conducted in class III of SD Negeri 10 Surau Gadang.

              Results of the validation performed o l eh validator to get the average value of 93.11% to the category of "very valid".
