<![CDATA[The development of technology has changed the educational landscape significantly, demanding innovation in the learning process. However, the use of technology, such as interactive learning media, in the learning process remains suboptimal, particularly at the elementary school/Islamic elementary school level. Many teachers still rely on conventional methods and textbooks, which are less likely to stimulate students' interest in learning. As a result, students often struggle to understand abstract concepts like the food chain. The aim of this study was to create interactive learning materials that could enhance science education on the food chain topic for fifth-grade students in elementary schools and Islamic elementary schools. This study employs a research and development (R&D) approach, utilizing the ADDIE stages. The study results showed that the interactive learning media developed can facilitate fifth-grade students at Al Ghaffaar Islamic Elementary School in understanding the concept of science, especially regarding the food chain. The validity of the developed media supports this, with an average percentage of 93.75% classifying it as highly valid. The positive response of teachers and students to this media, as well as the results of the recapitulation of the media's practicality based on student questionnaire data, which obtained a percentage of 86%, show that the media is very practical to use and is able to attract interest in learning and involve students in the learning process. The developed media has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing student learning outcomes, as evidenced by the high average N-Gain of 0.71. The research's results suggest that creating interactive media is an effective way to enhance learning quality, particularly for abstract subjects like food chains. Interactive learning media can also be a solution to overcome the limitations of conventional methods.]]>
