This research is motivated by the problems faced by fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Narimbang Mulia in understanding the material on forms and changes of energy in everyday life. One of the main obstacles identified is the lack of teaching aids and the unappealing nature of student worksheets, which hampers the learning process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of elementary students' understanding of the forms and changes of energy, as well as to identify the obstacles they face in learning the material. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including student observations, teacher interviews, and the administration of a post-test at the end of the learning session. The research subjects are fifth-grade students of SDN 1 Narimbang Mulia. The results of the study show that most students have a fairly good understanding of the concepts of energy forms and changes. However, there are still obstacles in the learning process, including limited teaching aids and uninteresting student worksheets. This study is expected to serve as a basis for developing more effective learning strategies to improve students' understanding of the material on energy forms and changes in everyday life.

Gender inequality is still a problem faced by Indonesian society, so efforts are needed to realize gender equality, one of which is through empowering women. PT Pertamina Patra Niaga DPPU Adi Sumarmo through the Sobokerto Community Cares for Cengklik Reservoir (Mas Sopili) program is trying to involve women through the formation of the Ngudi Makmur Women's Farmer Group (KWT) and KWT Bangun Sejahtera. In empowerment activities, participation is the key to determining the success of the program. This research aims to analyze women's participation in the Mas Sopili program. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research using primary and secondary data. The research results show that KWT members actively participate in various stages of activities, namely the planning, implementation, enjoying the results and evaluation stages. The form or type of participation provided is in the form of thought, energy, skills, goods, and money. There are factors inhibiting community participation in this activity, namely availability of time, lack of increase in income, and lack of motivation and awareness. Meanwhile, the driving factor is member motivation and encouragement from the chairman of each KWT.
