Learning in Indonesia use Kurikulum 2013 based on internal and external challenges. One of the internal challenges is the readiness of education personnel in the developing tools as an innovation in learning, while in external challenges is related to education in international level. Indonesia facing external challenges by following the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 1999 and The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2003. Participation in TIMSS and PISA shows that the achievements of Indonesian children are still under the low average and science literacy. Science literacy is the ability to make decisions about scientific issues and scientific phenomena that can be applied in daily life. This ability can be developed using innovative learning approaches such as socio scientific issues (SSI). SSI representation is an approach that represents issues or problem in social life that are conceptually related to science. The material discusses with material of vibration, waves, and sounds that apply to issues and phenomena in daily life. This study aims to describe the eligibility of learning tools based socio scientific issues approach including syllabus, lesson planning, teaching materials, student activity sheet, and science literacy test assessment. This research method using descriptive quantitative. The research instruments use the validation sheet syllabus, lesson planning, teaching materials, student activity sheet, and science literacy test assessment instrument. The data technique is used a validation questionnaire to assess the eligibility of learning tools. Validation is done by two experts and one science teacher. Data analysis technique is used the result of learning tools validation by using interpretation of criteria scores. Recapitulation of learning tools validation results can be seen in the following table.

The result of learning tools validation shows that learning tools is valid and reliable for learning have score of 3,58 with very valid criteria and reliability of 87,64% for syllabus, score of 3,82 with very valid criteria and 95,91% reliability for lesson planning, score of 3,77 with very valid criteria and reliability 98,27% for teaching materials, score of 3.77 with very valid criteria and reliability of 96,00% for student activity sheet, score of 3,82 with very valid criteria and reliability of 95,97% for science literacy test assessment. Learning to increase science literacy of student’s ability is needed to more reading scientific issue and socio scientific issues.
