Abstract
Green education is integrated into chemistry learning to support the green economy, as it offers numerous applications in everyday life, including waste management and sustainable reforestation programs. Based on the Merdeka Curriculum, one aspect of chemistry learning in grade 10 is green chemistry, which explores global issues and problem-solving. Science skills are closely linked to green education in chemistry learning, as students gain scientific knowledge and attitudes from the theories they learn. All these efforts are directed toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research used a quasi-experimental Design. The study had two groups, the experimental and the control groups. The sample was SMA Negeri 1 Gunung Meria, Deli Serdang Regency students. The research instruments used were essay tests and observations. The results of the posttest t-test analysis between the control and the experimental group at a significance level of 0.05, then 0.00 <0.05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The results of the students' entrepreneurial character scores can be seen in Figure 1, where the experimental class has an average score of 77.70 and the control class 42.85. The results of the study can be concluded that education has a significant influence on students' science process skills. Students' entrepreneurial character shows a substantial difference, in that in the experimental class, there is good development.
