Applying collaborative learning by analyzing the suitability of Basic Competence (KD), is one form of effort to ease the learning burden of students in high school, especially in experimental activities to determine spring constants. This can be a form of learning strategy that identifies the suitability and interrelationship between Basic Competencies (KD) in physics learning so that it is integrated and meaningful for students. This final project research aims to compare the results of determining spring constants using static methods, lab-based dynamic methods, and the use of Phyphox applications through single and repeated measurements in the physics learning process in high school. Based on the experiments that have been carried out, the spring constant value obtained from the static method k = (3.6160 ± 0.1012) × 101 N/m and k = (3.609 ± 0.144) × 101 N/m, the dynamic method for 1 cm deviation is k = (2.7140 ± 0.1797) × 101 N/m and k = (2.7390 ± 0.0445) × 101 N/m, dynamic method for 2 cm deviation is k = (2,7140 ± 0,1797) × 101 N/m and k = (2,6814 ± 0,0434) × 101 N/m and when using the Phyphox application k = (2,604 ± 0.306) × 101 N/m. In this final project, a Student Worksheet (LKPD) was developed with an introductory video for experiments in determining spring constants. The video received good responses from students because it explained the material in the form of interesting pictures and animations as well as an experimental guide that was easy to understand and suitable to be used as a medium for learning physics for students in high school.
