This study aims to improve students' science process skills (SPS) through the use of question web based learning model (QWBL) in physics learning. The QWBLis a learning model specifically designed to train students' scientific questioning skills. Scientific questioning skills are related to SPS because every scientific question must be proven through experiments. This research employed educational design research (EDR) and was conducted at senior high schools in academic year of 2017/2018 involving 32 students as samples. This study used one group pre-test and post-test design and data was analyzed descriptively using the n-gain indicator. The results showed that only 3.125% of students completed pre-test and 87.5% of students completed at post-test. The increase of n-gain score was from 0.33 to 0.88 which fall into moderate and high category. The increase in N-gain indicated that the QWBL model was effective to improve SPS in physics learning especially in subject of static fluid. This criterion shows that the QWBL is effective for improving students' science process skills in learning of physic.
