If the initial study the mastery learning reached only 22.86%, then the first cycle increased to 54.29%, then in the second cycle mastery learning reached 77.14%.

This is considered by the Open Inquiry learning model are able to challenge students to reasoning more with their personal experiment, with KWHL Chart as a classroom management framework.
