This article was result of research and development (R & D) which aims to obtain profile of inquiry ability of students. Model of the tool development was based on 4-D model of Thiagarajan et al., which are consist of define, design, develop, and disseminate. In 2015, we had produced the tool that was student worksheets, that meets validity criterion both by experts and practitioners. The model/framework of the worksheet consists of title, question of investigation, analysis questions, and question to infer. The model/framework minimized guidance statement just like as in laboratory activity guidance book (which were like "cake recipe"). Limited testing in this study was conducted in develop stage, using descriptive analysis approach. The subject of research was students of X1 class consist of 30 students, at SMAN 1 Makassar in even semester of academic year 2016/2017 on heat and temperature. The results of study showed that the average of inquiry ability of students of SMA N 1 Makassar was in enough skilled categories. Learning process by using this student worksheet (LKPD) could train the inquiry ability of students because this worksheet consists of scientific activity based on science process skill. The SMA students, who were the subject of this research, were unfamiliar with independent learning, therefore the use of similar worksheet for another topic was needed. If students have familiarity with this LKPD, their inquiry ability would be getting better and better, students will be accustomed with scientific activity, and we expect that the scientific habitual will be formed and would be character.
Keywords: student worksheets, productive question, inquiry
