ABSTRACT

This study aims to facilitate the teaching and learning environment of school subjects especially
biology class VIII level of secondary school (SMP). Biological materials are discussed, namely
the growth and development that occur in living things, both in plants, animals, and humans and
explain the factors that influence it. This study receipts system design method using the Unified
Modeling Language (UML) that is implemented into the four kinds of diagrams, namely, the use
case diagram, class diagram, sequence diagram and activity diagram. Application of multimedia-
based learning techniques to implement the application is accompanied by an animation which is
designed using the software Macromedia Flash 8. Each animation is accompanied
penganimasian method of varying the frame by frame, motion tween, and action script. The
results of this study is in the form of a teaching tool of the application format. Exe that can be
run directly without having to install Macromedia Flash 8 in advance. This application can
display the material that accompanied the animation associated with the material growth and
development of living things. In addition this application also can display video as an example of
short duration that can make the students more easily memahani fill material such as
metamorphosis and metagenesis. The quality of animation is shown on this application is
determined by the large number of frames that are inserted in the animation. The more the
number of frames that are inserted in a single layer animation, the more subtle and appealing the
resulting 2-dimensional animation.
