Abstract: Scientific literacy and environmental awareness are skills needed in the 21st century. Therefore, education must provide these skills. This research aims to analyze the effect of SSI-based undergraduate student worksheets on chemical thermodynamics. Pre-experimental research with a pretest-posttest control group design was employed to compare SSI-based and science-based undergraduate student worksheets. Chemistry education students at FKIP Universitas Riau for the 2022/2023 academic year were selected as samples. The experimental and control groups were established based on the homogeneity of their previous academic scores. This study evaluated two outcome variables: scientific literacy ability and environmental awareness. The research instrument is a scientific literacy test using scientific literacy description questions and environmental awareness questionnaires. Scientific literacy test scores were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-test, and environmental awareness questionnaire results were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U-Test. Increased scientific literacy and environmental awareness of students were analyzed using the N-gain test. The results showed that the experimental group's scientific literacy and environmental awareness were significantly higher than the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that SSI-based undergraduate student worksheets effectively increase scientific literacy and environmental awareness.
