This study is aimed to investigate the application of Science Process Skills (SPS) as the scientific skills that could use to develop and increase science process skills and understanding of physics subject through laboratory activity. This study utilized experimental design by involving students grade ten-3 from Senior High School Banda Aceh academic year 2018/2019 as a sample. It followed the competence standard of 2013 Indonesian Curriculum. This study found that there was a positive correlation between the content of physics syllabus and the science process skills. This condition had contributed positively to students’ learning achievements. It could be seen from the result of pre and post-test where the result of post-test had improved after applying this approach. The research method used was the quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest one group design and observation sheets to observe the implementation of the learning method. Data processing was done by test obtained by the percentage of the average value of the initial test 60.33%. Then the final percentage average score was 82.33%. The result there was a significant change in student’s average value of learning outcomes on the post-test higher than the pre-test.
