Contextual approach in learning acid-base concepts is proven to improve students’ understanding. This is based on an initial survey of students regarding the acid-base concept, as many as 66.7% were interested in learning the concept if it is related to everyday life. Therefore, a contextual approach integrates contextual and real-world applications has been proposed to make the concept more meaningful to students. STEAM-2C which integrates aspects of (Science, Technology, Arts, Engineering, Mathematics, Culture, and Communication) is one application of a contextual approach that is proven to increase motivation, besides that students also need to explore the local wisdom around them. However, the problem is that no learning resource combines aspects of STEAM-2C based on local wisdom, one of which is in Malang City. Therefore, a learning media was developed in the form of a flipbook integrated with the STEAM-2C approach based on Malang’s local wisdom, namely Malangan batik which is associated with the concept of acid-base. The method used in this research is the RnD (Research and Development) method with a modified ADDIE development model with restrictions into 3 stages, namely analysis, design, and development. The results showed that a digital-based flipbook in the form of an application had been compiled. The content in the flipbook includes chem-culture, chem-matter, chem-news, and chem-tech illustrating the integration of acid-base material with the STEAM-2C approach. Flipbook is packaged as an application with several main features, namely pre-test, learning video, flipbook, posttest, and games to support the student learning process. The integration of the STEAM-2C approach and local wisdom can familiarize students with social and cultural awareness characters that are closely related to 21st century skills, as well as make students able to solve problems better, creatively, independently, think logically, and introduce local wisdom values to students on acid-base material.
