This study aims to develop comics on the theory of temperature and heat by incorporating the traveling storyline in its delivery. Comics are designed to be used as physics learning media for class XI high school. This development consists of four stages, namely: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The defining phase is carried out a need’s analysis to determine the urgency of the additional physics learning media in the form of comics. The design stage is in the form of compiling the comic storyline. The storyline presented follows the comic elements as story media. The development phase was carried out, making comic sketches and validated by several experts. The last stage is the distribution of products spread to high school. Based on the results of the feasibility test, obtained an average percentage of achievements for material experts 86%, learning media experts 89%, literary experts 81.25%, and graphic-design experts 88.4%. The average overall value obtained shows that the quality of the physics comic score interpretation of the temperature and heat material is rated very well. Based on the feasibility test and the trial of this comic product, it is declared feasible to be used as a physics learning media.

The pre-service teachers must be prepared to integrate technology into classroom learning. This technical capability must be adapted to the material to be taught. Material for physics has a different character, especially in the selection of media. Media on one material is not necessarily suitable for other materials. The pre-service physics teacher must have the ability to analyze content and find appropriate technology in making media. This study was aimed to implement project learning for ICT based learning in physics courses for a pre-service physics teacher. This research can be used to see how significant Technological-Content-Knowledge (TCK) pre-service physics teacher is through Project-Based Learning (PjBL). This PjBL is applied to the undergraduate pre-service physics teacher level. All students participated in full lectures for 16 meetings, which were combined between the explanation of topic matter guidance and progress report. The lecturer will give feedback to all students. The data taken is the initial ability of students, evaluation of progress reports, and project output of each student. The results obtained were students’ pre-service physics teacher had a portfolio and an increase in TCK pre-service physics teachers were initially students were still having difficulties in applying technology with physics content.

Granular particles have applications in various fields, one of which is the beauty industry. One crucial part of this industry is the character of powder-size interactions with skin-faces. The simulation of granular particles with a porous surface can model this interaction. The purpose of our simulation to visualize the process of granular attachment on a horizontal porous surface. This simulation is 3-dimensional visualization using unified particle physics solver method in uFlex assets on unity software. We generate the pores to three sizes. Each order is tested using five particle sizes. The results showed that the porous hole diameter and the granular restitution coefficient influenced the particles entering the porous surface system. In summary, the number of grains entering the pore is proportional to the diameter, but not linear.

The various setting of granular systems becomes an interesting and important thing to learn another granular-like system. Each system can represent different physical meaning. In this work, we perform two dimensions simulations of granular on the rigid wall. The varying initial velocities generate for each particle. We used two sets of the rigid wall, straight and inclined wall. The interaction of particle-particle and wall-particles used frictionless rigid body interaction. From the simulation result, observed that the small increment of a given velocity affected the reached maximum height particle as rapidly. The inclined wall indicates the less number of particles that pass through the wall. Future work can implement these results such as on granular energy damping.
