Abstract: This study was based on the problem emerged in Physics learning process, especially in class 7.1 of SMP Nasional KPS. The students scientific performance ability in observation, the use of instruments and materials for experiment,and the communication of their experiment result was still low. That was why the writer used the concept ‘Science Garden’, that is a garden in which the students could find various kinds of Physics media in real size. This study is aimed at finding out how science garden can improve students’ scientific performance in Physics learning. The subjects of this study were the students ofclass 7.1 of SMP Nasional KPS Balikpapan. It was carried out on December 2006, on the 1st, 2nd, and 3 rd week, in two cycles. The research observation towards scientific performance used direct observation in the learning process. It was found in the result that in cycle I the average of students performance reached 73.33%, and in cycle II the average reached 82.50%. There was an increase of 9.17% in the students’ performance.
