Abstract

Earth and Space Science is one of the materials taught in Physics. But the implementation in class, often is not given in full and entrusted to other lessons because it is constrained by various things including the availability of learning media such as textbooks. The method used is a survey method. Questionnaires were distributed to 3 middle and 3 high schools around the city of Bandung and Bandung district with the number of respondents 96 junior high school students, 125 high school students, 3 junior high school teachers and 3 high school teachers. From the student questionnaire, data was obtained that earth and space science became one of the interesting material especially if the availability of interesting teaching materials was available. Middle school students often access the internet as additional learning resources in addition to teacher explanations in the classroom. From the teacher questionnaire, it was also found that textbooks and the internet were the main learning resources in delivering earth and space science material in the classroom. The result from the preliminary study conducted, the researchers intend to develop web-based teaching materials for high school students. This web-based teaching material for high school students is still in the process of drafting
