The type of this study is R & D (Research and Development) from Sugiyono (2017) with 10 stages. Those 10 stages are identification of potential and problems, data collection, product design, product validation, design revisions, product trials, product revisions, usage trials, product revisions and mass production. The trial subjects were students of class XII MIPA 3 (Test instrument), class XI MIPA 2 (product trial) and class XI MIPA 1 and class XI MIPA 4 (trial use) SMA Negeri 1 Mayong Jepara.
