The TikTok application is a social media application that is much favored by junior high school students. The subjects in this study were students of SMP Negeri 6 Tebingtinggi City. Data from this study were collected using Google Foms to see student responses to science-biology learning. The results of the study of student responses to the TikTok application as a science-biology learning medium are: stating the quality of the display of learning media using the TikTok application is attractive, fun and easy to operate as much as 92.14%, states that learning media using the TikTok application increases students’ knowledge in learning as much as 87.97%, stated that students’ motivation to learn increased by using the TikTok application as much as 85.88%, and stated that learning activities became fun by using the TikTok application as much as 86.56%. It can be concluded that the feasibility of using the TikTok application as a learning medium is 88.13%, meaning that the use of the TikTok application
