The data were collected using (1) observation checklists; (2) documentation; (3) field notes sheets; and (4) impression sheets. Data analysis used tabulation techniques, narrative descriptions, and word cloud analysis. The science topics tested were related to (1) changes in the form of substances; (2) the concept of force and pressure; (3) matter and its classification; (4) the concept of energy; (5) aquatic ecosystems; and (6) plant morphology. Islamic values are emphasized in directing children's habituation activities, as well as providing children's motivation through Islamic figures in the fields of science and technology. Science projects include (1) a rotary ice cream making project; (2) launching a water rocket project; (3) making air freshener; (4) studying Islamic science; (5) building a ship and launching it; (6) river tracing and fishing; (7) making key chains from resin; and (8) making ecoprinting using pounding technique. Various positive impressions were obtained from the children and parents involved, and on the sustainability aspect, it was shown that there were repetitions and follow-up experiments by children outside the ISC program.
