Scientific process skills (SPS) are essential competencies that enable individuals to solve real-world problems through systematic inquiry. This study aims to analyze the profile of students’ scientific process skills during the implementation of the discovery learning model on the topic of colligative properties of solutions. The research involved 34 students from class XII-6 at SMA Negeri 14 Bekasi, selected using purposive sampling. A descriptive quantitative design with a one-shot case study approach was employed. Data were collected through observation sheets (15 items, rated by six observers) and questionnaires (21 statements), both using a Likert scale (1–4). Validity and reliability of instruments were verified prior to data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine percentage scores and categories. The observation results yielded an average score of 74.16% (Good category), while the questionnaire results yielded 76.54% (Good category). The highest-scoring aspect in both instruments was Using Tools and Materials (91.91% and 83.82%, respectively), while Predicting obtained the lowest score from observations (55.14%, Sufficient). These findings suggest that the discovery learning model effectively supports the development of students’ scientific process skills, particularly in practical laboratory contexts, though further attention is needed for higher-order predictive and hypothesizing skills. These results have implications for the design of inquiry-based chemistry instruction, particularly in the selection of learning models and the structuring of laboratory activities that systematically target all dimensions of scientific process skills at the senior high school level.
