One of the key topics in education and disaster mitigation is the use of geophysical science to deal with natural disasters and to raise environmental awareness of high school students. We discussed how geophysician science can be incorporated into high school curricula to increase environmental Awareness and reduce natural disaster risk. We also highlighted the methods of geofysics that can be socialized to high school pupils to understand and manage natural phenomena, as well as to reduce the risk of natural catastrophe for society. By using this method, high school children are expected to learn about the Earth and how to cope with natural catastrophes

The background for writing this thesis is that the implementation of the Tahfidz Qur'an in the Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Wustha Program at SMP Negeri 4 Tualang is held on Monday-Thursday, the implementation time is 15.00-16.30. In this Tahfidz Qur'an activity, the Wahdah method is used.

Based on the findings of research conducted by the author, the results show that: in the 2023/2024 academic year, teachers changed the system with the first 3 months focusing on Tahfidz Qur'an only to achieve the target of Siak, namely a minimum of students memorizing 1 juz. After the initial 3 months ended, students returned to studying as before, namely studying the subjects of Fiqh, Aqidah Akhlak, Al-Qur'an Hadith, Tarekh and Arabic. The steps for implementing the Wahdah Method at SMP Negeri 4 Tualang are, memorizing verse by verse and confirming the reading. In carrying out tahfidz Qur'an activities using the wahdah method, it has several benefits, namely making it easier for students to memorize, their memorization memory is stronger, some students get the letters correct. At the beginning of the first month it went well using this method. Then students feel bored in using this method. Because there are some students whose memorization is quite far, because using this method students feel they cannot increase their memorization deposit, because this method memorizes surahs together. The solution is to exchange or combine the wahdah method with another method. Or change the method in tahfidz Qur'an.
