The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in students' motivation and cognitive learning outcomes through the use of biology teaching aids. The place of this research is at SMP Negeri 9 Palangka Raya for the 2019/2020 academic year. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) using a quantitative and qualitative approach which is carried out in 2 cycles. The instrument used was an observation sheet on the implementation of the learning implementation plan, a questionnaire sheet, and a cognitive learning outcome test sheet.
