The purpose of this study is to identify the development of creativity in the concept of green biotechnology. To simplify the learning process, this concept can be divided into two subconcepts: 1) fermentation and 2) preservation. This research was conducted using pre-experimental method with the design of one pretest-posttest group. The respondents involved in this study were 82 Pre-service Elementary Teachers (PETs) of 5th graders at Universitas Sebelas Maret. The process of improving the PETs' creativity was examined based on a normalized gain analysis of the pre-test and post-test values for all sub-concepts. The results showed that the creativity dramatically increased by 77% (high) in fluency; 57% (moderate) on flexibility, 46% (high) on originality and 40% (moderate) on elaboration. This result confirms that the implementation of SDI in science learning can improve the overall creativity at a moderate level.
