The enzyme α-amylase is one of the enzymes that plays a role in the process of degrading starch into maltose and glucose. Organic compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids are inhibitors of α-amylase. The star fruit plant (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) has α-amylase enzyme inhibition activity and has the potential to be used in the therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine whether ethanol extract and the fraction of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) have α-amylase enzyme inhibition activity, inhibition against α-amylase enzyme and better inhibition activity. The test of α-amylase enzyme inhibition activity was carried out using 3 test groups, namely negative control, positive control (acarbose) and samples (ethanol extract and star fruit fraction) with concentrations of 12.5 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 200 ppm. The results of testing the inhibitory activity of α-amylase enzyme of ethanol extract and the fraction of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) obtained IC50 values of 5.581 μg/mL, 76.725 μg/mL, 43.152 μg/mL and 55.447 μg/mL, respectively. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) at a concentration of 200 ppm has a very strong activity in inhibiting the α-amylase enzyme with an inhibition percentage of 85.217% and an IC50 value of 5.581 μg/mL.

Students often have difficulty understanding the concepts of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS), especially at the elementary school level. This difficulty is caused by the lack of variety of learning methods that are capable and attract students to actively participate in learning activities. The aim of this research is to determine the improvement in learning outcomes of class IV C students in the elastic movement material in science and science lessons. This research applies the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model which uses Mystery Box media. This research uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method which consists of two cycles. The instruments used include pretest and posttest as well as observation sheets. The data was analyzed descriptively quantitatively to measure the increase in learning outcomes from one cycle to the next. The research results show that implementing PjBL with Mystery Box media improves student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, there was significant improvement, although some students had not reached the target. In the second cycle, learning outcomes continued to improve, with the majority of students reaching or exceeding the KKM.
