  • Science process skills are required outcomes of Indonesia's Kurikulum Merdeka, yet rotational dynamics is often taught without experimental work. This study developed a practicum e-module that combines Phyphox experiments with rule-based formative feedback linked to science process skill indicators, and evaluated its validity, practicality, and associated changes in students' scores. The ADDIE model guided development. The product was trialled with 32 Grade XI students at SMAN 5 Sarolangun using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Validity and practicality data were analysed descriptively. Pretest and posttest scores from a 15-item science process skills test were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, normalized gain, and effect size. The mean expert-validity score was 88.72%, and students rated the e-module practical (M = 4.13; 82.65%). Mean scores increased from 30.97 to 77.09 (Z = -4.643, p < .001), with a moderate normalized gain (g = 0.67) and a large within-group effect size (r = 0.82). The largest changes occurred in identifying variables, designing experiments, and analysing data, whereas formulating hypotheses and drawing conclusions changed least. The e-module is therefore a valid and practical resource for supporting experimental work where laboratory equipment is limited. Because the study lacked a comparison group, the observed change cannot be attributed to the e-module alone; controlled and longer-term trials are recommended.
