The science process skills of high school students in the West Lombok Regency are still relatively low. This is indicated by the report on the results of the 2017/2018 national exams on physics, chemistry, and biology subjects included in the low category. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the discovery learning model to practice the science process skills of class XI students of SMA Negeri 1 Kediri on Elasticity and Hooke's Law. This type of research is a quasi-experiment, with the basic pattern "The One Group Pretest-Posttest Design" and descriptive method. The instrument used in this study was the observation sheet implementation of the discovery learning model and the test results of the science process skills. The results showed that: (1) the percentage of implementation of discovery learning models increased, which means better quality of learning, and (2) the percentage of tests of students' science process skills results in Elasticity and Hooke's Law also increased.
