Abstract
This research was conducted to develop an integrated science practicum guide with the theme of inquiry-based photosynthesis for junior high school students with student learning outcomes and activities. This research is a Research and Development research with small-scale trials in class VIII A and large scale at VIIIB. The results showed that the practical guide was valid and feasible to use by obtaining an average score of> 3.2 from each expert. After calculating the n gain formula, the classical gain n value is 0.56 (moderate), with the classical completeness percentage is 100%. The results of the analysis of students' understanding using practicum guides have been developed with an average of 83.84. Meanwhile, the understanding of students who did not use the practicum guide that had been developed obtained an average of 62.20. This shows that the understanding of students using the practicum guide that was developed is higher than without using the practicum guide that has been developed. The results of student activity increased after the second meeting with an average of 85.47% of students belonging to the "active" and "very active" categories. So it can be concluded that the integrated science practicum guide for inquiry-based photosynthesis for junior high school students has proven valid and suitable for use in learning. Keywords: Research and Development (R & D), Inquiry, Practicum Guide

Summary
PENDAHULUAN IPA atau sains bermula dari gejala yang terjadi di alam sehingga dengan keinginan dan rasa ingin tahu manusia mencoba dan mencari penjelasan atas gejala alam tersebut melalui proses penyelidikan. Menurut Patta Bundu (2006: 9), definisi IPA atau sains sebagai ilmu pengetahuan berasal dari kata “natural science”, natural memiliki arti ilmiah dan berhubungan dengan alam, sedangkan science artinya ilmu pengetahuan. Artinya sains dipandang sebagai ilmu pengetahuan yang mempelajari tentang alam atau mempelajari peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi di alam. Salah satunya yaitu menurut Sujana (2013) IPA atau sains adalah suatu ilmu pengetahuan yang mempelajari tentang alam semesta dan isinya, serta peristiwaperistiwa yang terjadi didalamnya yang telah dikembangkan oleh para ahli berdasarkan proses Ilmiah. Secara garis besar Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam di SMP/MTs mencakup bidang kajian energi dan perubahannya, bumi antariksa, makhluk hidup dan proses kehidupan, serta materi dan sifatnya. Kurikulum 2013 menetapkan pelaksanaan pembelajaran IPA di SMP/MTs harus dilaksanakan secara terpadu
