Preliminary field research revealed the requirement of an interactive and supportive learning media for the Integrated Science course. Therefore, this research aimed at producing a valid and practical glossary of Integrated Science. The Four-D (Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate) method was applied in this research. Materials expert, media expert, and teacher have validated the product; also, tested in One-to-One Trial, Small-Scale Trial, and Field Trial which included respectively three, twelve, and thirty VII grade students. The product validity scored 4.21 and categorised as “excellent” while the product practicality value was 4.45 and categorised as “excellent”. The research product named “Integrated Sciences Glossary” is in the Application Package File (.apk) format and could be downloaded freely on the Google Play Store. This glossary consists of scientific terms equipped with explanations in both English and Indonesian. The students showed their enthusiasm in using the application for its ease. Other than that, this Android-based glossary is convenient to be used outside classroom learnings.
