This study aimed to develop a picture puzzle learning media to improve fourth-grade elementary school students' understanding of plant parts. The study was motivated by students' low level of understanding of plant parts due to the use of conventional and less interactive learning media. The research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants of this study were fourth-grade elementary school students. Data were collected through interviews, material expert validation, media expert validation, comprehension tests, and student response questionnaires. The results showed that the developed picture puzzle learning media achieved a material expert validation score of 95.31%, categorized as highly valid, and a media expert validation score of 81.25%, also categorized as highly valid. The effectiveness test yielded an N-Gain score of 72.38%, categorized as highly effective, while the student response questionnaire obtained a score of 82.61%, categorized as highly practical. Based on these findings, the picture puzzle learning media is considered valid, feasible, and effective as an alternative science learning medium to improve elementary school students' understanding of plant parts.
