Model of generating arguments through science investigation method emphasizes learning activities in order to make students involved in enhancing argumentation skills. The purpose of this research is to get a picture of enhanced argumentation skills and student’s aspect of argumentation as the effect of model of generating arguments through science investigation method applied on heat subject. The method of this research is pre-experiment with pretest and posttest group design. The instruments of the research covered argumentation skills test, observation sheet, and interview. The subjects of the research are 33 10th grade students in a high school at Bandung who were collected by cluster random sampling technique.
