This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of chemistry module based on Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) to increase science generic skills. The module developed used SSCS stage that was integrated with six aspects of science generic skills which divided into six chapters of atomic structure and the periodic table of elements. The research was conducted at one of Senior High School in Surakarta. This research method was quasi-experiment with pre- and posttest design. The control and experimental class group at school were used in this research. The control class used instructional material that teachers developed in school experimental class was used module based on SSCS and the experimental class was used module based on SSCS. The control and experimental class groups were given science generic skills test before (pre-test) and after learning (post-test). Quantitative data analysis was calculated using an interferential statistic. The result of this research indicated that the experimental class was used module based on SSCS better than the control class was used teaching material from teacher developed in school. Student's science generic skills increase with used the module based on SSCS in the learning process. Chemistry module based on SSCS was effective to increase science generic skills and can be one of the materials teaching used by the teacher as a reference to increasing aspects of indirect observations, symbolic language, scale awareness, logical consistency, logical frame, and concept constructing.
