The purpose of this study was to find out and describe the results of research on the influence of the experiential learning model (ELM) conducted in elementary schools on Natural Sciences subjects. This study uses the Systemic Literature Review (SLR) research method which provides output to existing data, as well as an elaboration of a finding so that it can be used as an example for research studies in compiling or making a clear discussion of the contents of the problem to be studied. The author searches for data or literature from national journals and articles through Google Scholar so that it can be used as a strong foundation in content or discussion. The author conducted a search with related keywords, obtained quite a lot of data and then sorted it back so that it was conical to produce articles that discussed the experiential learning model, then the articles were sorted back into specifics, namely on learning natural sciences in elementary schools. Research data on the influence of the Experiential Learning Model in Elementary Schools, namely 60 articles and those applied to science learning, found 15 articles. From the SLR conducted, information was obtained that research on the effect of ELM in Elementary Schools on Science Learning was still very limited, the research was limited to learning outcomes, motivation, conceptual understanding, critical thinking and creative thinking but had not yet been related to other components such as students^ cognitive styles.
