The object of research is guided Discovery learning module on human digestive system material for students of class VIII. The research subject is a student of class VIII SMPN 26 Padang. Module validated by 3 lecturers majoring in IPA FMIPA UNP. The result of the evaluation itself was obtained that the module is developed according to the assessed aspect. The results of the validity test are obtained the average validity value of the content feasibility aspect, the linguistic, the presentation and the graphing with an average value of 87.5% with valid criteria. It is thus concluded that the learning modules of human digestive systems with guided discovery learning are developed to have a valid Krieria.
