This type of research is a Research and Development (R&D) research. by using the ADDIE Model which is modified into ADDI, namely: 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development, 4) implementation. The test subjects of this learning media are fourth grade students of SDN 05 Muara Air on caring for living things. The instrument in this study used a validity and practicality sheet. Based on the results of the research, the development of puzzle game-based science learning media was included in very valid criteria with an average validity of 0.98 by media experts, and the average validity of material experts was 0.86 with very valid criteria. The developed puzzle game-based science learning media is also included in the very practical criteria that have been filled by educators with an average practicality of 0.89, and students of 0.88.
