The science laboratory facilities in schools are inadequate. Therefore, the researcher developed a science learning media by utilizing virtual reality technology in the form of application that runs on smartphone. The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the validity of VR-IPA media; (2) to determine the practicality of VR-IPA media from the science teachers; and (3) to determine students’ responses to VR-IPA media. This media development used the ADDIE development model. The instruments used were media validation sheets, science teachers’ assessment sheets, and student response sheets. The result shows that: (1) the validity of VR-IPA media is in very good category; (2) the practicality of VR-IPA media is in very good category; and (3) the students’ responses to VR-IPA media are very good. In brief, it can be concluded that VR-IPA media is suitable for use in science learning.
