This study aims to describe the conditions of science learning media use on the puberty topic at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) as an empirical foundation for developing more effective media. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using direct classroom observation in Grade 5. The research subjects consisted of 28 fifth-grade students at a MIN in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Data were collected through non-participatory observation of the learning process and the teacher's media use. Findings indicate that the teacher relied solely on PowerPoint slides containing bullet-point descriptions of puberty characteristics, with no supporting visual illustrations. This condition resulted in a monotonous delivery that failed to concretely visualize biological changes for students. The results of this observational study indicate a need to develop puberty learning media that are visually richer, interactive, and child-friendly, particularly within the madrasah ibtidaiyah context.
