The method used in this research is quasi experiment. Sampling technique using cluster random sampling and the samples were taken from grade 8 in one of junior high school in Bandung. The sample was 45 students, consisting of the experimental class (n = 24 students) and the control class (n=21 students). The experimental class is taught by inquiry-based laboratory activities, while the control class is taught by non-inquiry laboratory activities. The result of this research shows that the experimental class got N-Gain of 0.60, while the control class got N-Gain of 0.44, and both classes proven to have statistically significant different improvement.https://ejournal.upi.edu/index.php/jslearning/article/view/8537inquiry based laboratory activitiesnature of sciencelights and optics
