21st-century education emphasizes the importance of science process skills for students to be able to compete in the academic world and be ready to face challenges in the industrial era 5.0 This study aims to examine the effect of the discovery learning model on the science process skills (KPS) of grade V students. This study is included in the quantitative research with an experimental method using a true experimental design, a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of this study were grade V students, with samples selected using simple random sampling techniques. Several techniques and tools were used to collect data, namely tests (multiple-choice questions), unstructured interviews, observations (using observation guidelines), and documentation (using smartphones). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The analysis showed a negative effect of -73% of the discovery learning model on students' science process skills. Thus, the discovery learning model is less effective when applied to the material on human digestive organs in grade V A MIN 1 Filial Pontianak in the 2023/2024 academic year.
