Scientific process skills (SPS) are important as the basis for developing the skills of the 21st century that are required to face the industrial era 4.0 and society 5.0. However, the Covid-19 pandemic allows learning to take place online so that it has an impact on the scientific process skills of students. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientific process skills of 10th grade students at a public high school in Kabupaten Bekasi. Measured aspects of the scientific process skills include observing, interpreting, predicting, planning experiments, communicating and applying concepts. A descriptive quantitative is used as this type of research. The research sample consisted of 211 grade 10th students (133 females and 68 males) who had completed learning the concept of simple harmonic oscillation online. The data was collected through tests and interviews. The percentage of the scientific process skill test on the aspect of observing, interpreting, predicting, planning experiment, communicating and applying concepts were 48% (less), 56% (less), 58% (less), 46% (less), 46% (less) and 45% (less), respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts in online learning to improve scientific process skills of students.
