Abstract
This study aims to describe the science process skills
and motivation of students' learning skills by applying the
brain based learning model. This research is a quasi-
experimental research. The population consisted of all
students of SD Inpres Boyaoge and a sample of grade 5a and
5b students. The science process skills instrument used a
student activity sheet test and motivation used a
questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using the
Manwhitney test. The results showed that there was an
effect of the learning model on students' science process
skills with an average BBL class of 94.48% as well as on
Keywords: students' learning motivation with an average of 90%, these
