76.22. In understanding the concept of average student sound energy from the
basic score to 81.72. The increase of learning result can be seen from the
average of N-Gain on the understanding of the concept of heat energy of 0.32
medium categories and on the understanding of energy concept of 0.47 medium
categories. This study concluded that the application of inquiry learning model
can improve science learning outcomes based on reflection by prospective
