Abstract. The purpose of this study was to describe physics students predicting skills after following the geoscience learning using VLP (Volcano Learning Project) simulation. This research was conducted to 24 physics students at one of the state university in East JavaIndonesia. The method used is the descriptive analysis based on students' answers related to predicting skills about volcanic activity. The results showed that the learning by using VLP simulation was very potential to develop physics students predicting skills. Students were able to explain logically about volcanic activity and they have been able to predict the potential eruption that will occur based on the real data visualization. It can be concluded that the VLP simulation is very suitable for physics student requirements in developing geosciences skill and recommended as an alternative media to educate the society in an understanding of volcanic phenomena.

Traditional cuisine is being forgotten particularly by young generation. One of the biggest triggers is the rapid distribution of information on modern food such as junk or fast food supported by the fast development of digital technology. In addition, low knowledge and awareness of traditional food, especially among teenagers, also contribute to this phenomenon.
