The purpose of this study was to improve the science process skills of seventh-grade junior high school students through the application of a guided inquiry learning model assisted by PhET Interactive Simulations on the subject of force and motion. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest and posttest pre-experimental design. The research subjects were 25 seventh-grade students in class VII-C at SMP Negeri 51 Surabaya in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through multiple-choice tests covering five SPS indicators, then analyzed using Normalized Gain (N-Gain) analysis and descriptive statistics. The results of the study indicate that all KPS indicators experienced a significant increase. In the posttest stage, the indicators of interpreting data, determining variables, analyzing data, and proposing hypotheses achieved an average score of 296.0, while the indicator of drawing conclusions achieved the highest score of 304.0. Based on individual N-Gain analysis, 48% of students were in the high improvement category, 28% in the moderate category, and 24% in the low category.
