This study aims to find out the role of science domino game and booklet in improving the sixth grade elementary school comprehension of students on basic concept of solar system topic and generating a learning trajectory on solar system topic. It used design research which consists of preliminary design, teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. Therefore, it described how science domino game and booklet enhanced ability of students in grasping basic concept on solar system topic and how the learning media yielded a learning trajectory in learning activity on solar system topic. Interview, observation, and documentation were used to collect the data. Based on the results of research, researchers produce learning trajectory about the solar system that can be used in learning and increased comprehension concept of students about the solar system.
