Abstract

Sarasah Kajai Waterfall is one of the potential of West Pasaman natural tourism that has been visited by tourists only to enjoy its beauty, even though this tourism are contains many physics concepts that can be used as learning resources for example potential energy. This advantage was not be used by teachers yet to make physics learning more interesting by observing the nature phenomenon directly. Unsuitable teaching materials would make students difficult to understand physics concepts. Therefore, a preliminary analysis of the characteristics of the students, regional potential, teacher competence and teaching material was carried out. This research use Plomp's Development Model. Data were taken by using questionnaires and interviews teachers and students of SMAN 1 Pasaman and SMAN 2 Pasaman.
