The research subjects were biology teacher candidates, in Lubuklinggau City, South Sumatra. The instruments for this research were material and media expert validation sheets, response questionnaires, essay questions for science literacy aspects of content and context, attitude questionnaires, and scientific process skills observation sheets. Validation data was analysed with percentage, responses were analysed descriptively, and science literacy was assessed with N-gain. Percentage analysis resulted in the validation of material experts in the medium category, and media experts in the high category. The responses for the student trials were positive. N-gain science literacy aspects of content, context, and process skills were in the high category, while science literacy in the attitude aspect was in the medium category.
