This study aims to develop interactive software for implementing the science process skills among primary pupils. Objectives of this study to developed interactive software in the sub title of "Rusting" and examines the usability of interactive software in the process of teaching and learning and its ability to apply science process skills among pupils. ADDIE instructional design model was used as a guideline of developing the interactive software. At the analysis level, 10 experts were interviewed for get their opinian on the topics that are difficult to run experiments in the science year 4 syllabus. Level of design, researchers have identified the theories related to the cognitivism, constructivism and contextual. Level of development, researchers have developed an interactive software using Macromedia Flash. Level of implementation, 10 experts who were interviewed have tried to use the interactive software in their schools. Level of evaluation, 10 experts will fill the same checklist to specify whether this interactive software can apply science process skills or not. The data analysis found, interactive software that has been developed is able to apply the science process skills amongst primary school pupils. In future, hopefully there are a lot of interactive software can be developed to help teaching and facilitation in schools, science process skills among pupils. Interactive software definitely makes learning of Science more interesting.
