1. EC MODEL SPECIFICATION
Details on the project design are explained thoroughly below especially the
components, how it operates and consists of sufficient supporting diagram.
1.1 Component
This EC Model consists of three parts including the base part, main part
and storage. We will describe details of each component of the parts followed
by the, measurement and their functions.
The base is made of thick PVC board as shown in Diagram 1. There are
four main parts which are (i)housing of adjustable panel, (ii)manual casing, (iii)3
different ball plate, and (iv)hanging ball panel plate. The size of the base is
55cm x 33cm x 5cm (length x width x thickness). The main function of this part
is to hold the others components so that it will be more presentable. During
technical testing, we have change the material from plywood to thick PVC
board in terms of its flexibility in making into appropriate and needed shape. In
terms of mass production, we are suggesting in using special mould PVC base
to increase its durability and life time.

The second part will be the main part of EC Model (refer Diagram 2)
where the interaction and activity are conducted through. This part consists of
(1)adjustable panel, (2)inclined plane, (3)hanging ball panel, (4)hanging ball,
(5)3 balls with different mass. Part 1 and 2 are made of PVC wire casing. The
height of 1 is 64 cm and measuring tape is being attached on it. The length of
part 2 is 30cm + 30cm (there are two equivalent plates connected by screw)
and joint with land bar (to place the ball) and adjustable wrist that has been
attached through welding. Part 3 is made of four plate of L shape stainless
steel that been screw together to make a U-shape. The size of the joint plate is
14cm (height) and 28.5cm (length). Part 4 consist of two equivalents mass balls
attach together by a thick string and needed to screws on 3. Lastly Part 5
consists of three different mass of ball (70g, 35g, and 15g).

3.5cm. The function of this part is to keep the entire main component for ease
of use and increase the marketable value of the product.

1.2 Operation
For the installing part, users have to explore the component and get to
know each part stated. Paired Numerical label are used in the storage and
base, so that users can easily match and correctly located the main
component. The label also represents the steps that users have to follow for
installation.
For activity part, we provide three suggested activity that can be used by
our targeted user (teacher and students). In Activity 1, teacher will construct
students’ knowledge and understanding by giving question provided in activity
sheet 1 while demonstrating through the model.

LESTARI FINAL REPORT: EC MODEL
As presented in our proposal, we have two types of test which are technical test
and educational objective test. In this section, we going to describe the technical test
and the improvement of the product that we manage to cover the test result. These
tests were conducted during development of the product and customer test (among
teacher and students).
During the development of the product, we have conducted the technical test
which includes the evaluation of the efficacy of the targeted design. As mention
earlier, some of our plan design has to be change due to the functionality and
material used. These include:

suggestion from the teacher to think on the storage matter since the product having
a quite big size and components that are sensitive like hanging ball. The school also
does not provide enough space in the lab or store to kept models, so the teacher are
worried on the product lifetime. Therefore, we have done the second round of fine
tuning process on EC Model. After some measurement, thinking and material search
done, we manage to come out with the solution of customized storage as shown in
Diagram 3.
During this test also, we examine the appropriateness of our Activity Sheets by
giving task of the three suggested activities to the students. The observation and
findings of this test is discussed in detail in chapter 4. We have change the activity in
Activity Sheet 1 due to the similarities to Activity Sheet 2. We also refine Activity
Sheet 2 and Activity Sheet 3 due to the weakness we examine during the test.

1. Identification Question:
2. Transition Questions
Question: What are the teaching methods that you usually use to teach the
sub topic of energy contained in physics 4 syllabuses, chapter 2?
Answer: usually I will use PowerPoint slide, or sometimes I’ll show
computer simulation, but if there's technical disruption, I'll use
OHP transparency slides.

3. Key Question
Question: What are the strengths and weaknesses that you found in EC
Model?
Answer: The main difference I can see in this product is, students can
interact through this model. The models that I’ve used before only
for one-way demonstration use. The main problem in controlling
such a model is its size and storage method. We have limited
storage space, so if I'm the targeted customers I'd prefer if this
model can be more flexible for the ease of storage.

From the qualitative research conducted during the product testing phase
show a positive feedback from both of the targeted customer. Student show a
strong engagement when using EC Model to demonstrate energy conservation
law. They have understood the concept of energy can be transfer or convert
that made the principle of conservation of energy law. These findings support
the study conducted by Rachniyom, et al. (2017) that also used simple
experimental activities to develop work and energy concept. Hence, the
participants’ misconception about the change of potential energy, kinetic energy
and the law of conservation of energy was cleared. The teacher also agreed
that simple experiment activity is a good technique to develop students’
scientific investigations skills. Students seem to have strong engagement in the
activity conducted through EC Model because it allows students to explore,
elaborate and evaluate the energy conservation law.
The other roots cause that affect student ability in demonstrating the law
is their mathematical skills. A research conducted by Pinsky & Galili (2014)
found that mathematics skills positively correlate with students’ performance in
physics class and exams. From the students answer sheet, we can see how
student using the formula to compute potential energy and the velocity value
but it seems students have to be guide to come out with an appropriate
summary.
The students answer sheet from the three suggested activity have been
evaluate. The summary of the findings as stated below:
Activity sheet 1 is quite similar to Activity sheet 2. The major difference
is its not testing student’s skill in applying the formula to calculate
potential energy and velocity. We decided to modify the activity into
new activity as provided in the appendix. Students having difficulties in
obtaining the suitable observation for Ball A and Ball B (the hanging

the market value of the product. These entire factors will contribute into
commercialization potential of EC Model.
5.1 Significance
Our targeted customer will be the teacher and students. From the statistic
given by Ministry of Education Malaysia (2016), there are 2408 secondary
schools in Malaysia that can be the targeted marketing potential location. The
list of the significance impact of EC Model towards customer needs as shown in
Table 2.

The EC Model can be installed and dissemble easily.
Include customized storage for spacing issues
Provide three suggested activities according to mastery level
Cover the whole concept of energy conservation law.

LESTARI FINAL REPORT: EC MODEL
The limitation of our product is the time taken for all the balls to roll through the
inclined plane was less than 1 second. To overcome this, further development of
bigger base and longer size of inclined plane and adjustable panel are needed.
Further research should also be conducted to examine the details impact of EC
Model towards the development of 5e’ Model elements among students.
