Natural Science (IPA) learning in elementary schools requires appropriate learning media to help students understand the material and improve learning outcomes. This study aims to describe the types of learning media used, identify the most frequently used media, and analyze the contribution of learning media use to the science learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN Mojoroto 2, Kediri City. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The research subjects consisted of the principal, third-grade teachers, and third-grade students at SDN Mojoroto 2, Kediri City.

The most frequently used media was PowerPoint (42.9%), followed by posters (28.6%), learning videos (14.3%), and pictures (14.3%). The use of learning media contributed positively to improving students' understanding of concepts, motivation, activeness, and science learning outcomes.
