Data on activities were analyzed descriptively, while pretest-posttest and n-Gain values were analyzed by Independent Sample t-test. The results of the study showed that the average percentage activity was 74.2 with good criteria with N-Gain average that was 0.66 with medium criteria. Thus the application of the discovery learning model has a significant effect on the activities and cognitive learning outcomes of students in "Human Blood Circulation" materials.
