After identifying the application of inquiry and scientific attitudes of students, the development of learning to preserve living things is carried out using developmental analysis related to environmental issues. From observations and interviews the results show that the application of inquiry and scientific attitude of students there is no planning on the learning tools for the preservation of living things, the average value of the percentage of inquiry activities is 29% (low), the average value of the percentage of scientific attitude activities is 61% (moderate), and must be improved through learning to conserve living things. Development of an inquiry syllabus based on scientific attitudes, teaching materials, student activity sheets (LKS), tests of preservation of living things, and attitude scales integrated into targets, principles, and methods in inquiry models based on scientific attitude.

Kegiatan pelestarian alam bertujuan untuk mempertahankan spesies-spesies tumbuhan dan hewan agar tetap lestari. Upaya untuk melakukan pelestarian alam dapat dilakukan melalui pendidikan. Salah satu strategi yang dapat digunakan sekolah dasar untuk menyadarkan kepedulian siswa terhadap lingkungan melalui pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi penerapan inkuiri dan sikap ilmiah siswa dalam pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup melalui analisis kebutuhan, studi dokumentasi, dan studi lapangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Penelitian Kualitatif (Qualitative Research), dilakukan menggunakan metode observasi langsung pada siswa kelas VI semester I yang mengikuti pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup di tiga SD Kota Banda Aceh dan wawancara mendalam (deep interview) dengan informan (key person) guru dan siswa. Setelah mengidentifikasi penerapan inkuiri dan sikap ilmiah siswa maka dilakukan pengembangan pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup menggunakan analisis pengembangan yang berhubungan dengan isu-isu lingkungan. Dari observasi dan wawancara diperoleh hasil bahwa penerapan inkuiri dan sikap ilmiah siswa tidak ada perencanaan pada perangkat pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup, nilai rata-rata persentase aktivitas inkuiri adalah 29% (rendah), nilai rata-rata persentase aktivitas sikap ilmiah adalah 61% (sedang), dan harus ditingkatkan melalui pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup. Pengembangan silabus inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah, bahan ajar, lembar kegiatan siswa (LKS), tes pelestarian makhluk hidup, dan skala sikap terintegrasi ke dalam sasaran, prinsip, dan metode dalam model pembelajaran inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah. Pembelajaran pelestarian makhluk hidup dengan model pembelajaran inkuiri berbasis sikap ilmiah diharapkan mampu membangun kesadaran siswa dan masyarakat akan pelestarian hutan dan lingkungan Aceh secara berkelanjutan.
