This community service aims to support the learning of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) on the topic of light and sound through the use of simple experimental-based teaching aids in elementary schools. The activity was carried out at SDN Cimayang 03, Bogor Regency for fifth-grade students with a focus on providing direct learning experiences through simple experimental activities. The community service method uses an educational-participatory approach that includes learning needs analysis, designing simple teaching aids, and implementing experiment-based learning. The teaching aids are made from easily obtained materials to help students understand the concept of light and sound propagation. The results of the activity show that students are actively involved in learning, show high enthusiasm, and are able to explain the concepts of light and sound based on observations and discussions. Teachers gave a positive response to the use of teaching aids as a practical and contextual learning medium for IPAS. This activity shows that the use of simple teaching aids can support the IPAS learning process in elementary schools.
