The rapid development of digital technology has transformed learning practices in schools, encouraging teachers to use innovative media to increase student engagement and independence. Traditional methods of teaching elementary school students about the water cycle often make them passive and overly dependent on teachers. This research uses the ADDIE development model, which includes five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Data were collected through expert validation, questionnaires, observations, interviews and pre-test/post-test assessments involving 47 Year 5 students from two primary schools in Purworejo Regency: SDN Kebongunung (the experimental class) and SDN 1 Maron (the control class). The results showed that SIMAS is valid, practical and effective. Expert validation showed that the media were very valid in terms of content, design, and appearance. Teachers and students rated SIMAS as being easy to use, visually appealing and helpful in understanding abstract concepts. T-test results showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the experimental and control classes, proving that SIMAS effectively improves learning independence. Students using SIMAS demonstrated greater motivation, initiative, and time management skills than those using conventional learning methods. Qualitative data supports these results, showing that SIMAS fosters an interactive and enjoyable learning environment. Teachers in the experimental classes reported that this medium reduced teacher dominance and encouraged active student participation. In conclusion, SIMAS has been proven to be a valid, practical and effective digital learning medium. It helps teachers implement digital pedagogy and strengthens students' learning independence.
