Pengembangan silabus inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah, bahan ajar, lembar kegiatan siswa (LKS), tes pelestarian makhluk hidup, dan skala sikap terintegrasi ke dalam sasaran, prinsip, dan metode dalam model pembelajaran inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah. Pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup dengan model pembelajaran inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah diharapkan mampu membangun kesadaran siswa dan masyarakat akan pelestarian hutan dan lingkungan Aceh secara berkelanjutan.
