The instruments used are observation sheets, validation sheets, lecturer and student assessment sheets, and essay tests. The results of this development research show that the learning tools meet the validity, practicality and effectiveness aspects. Based on the validity results, the RPS is in the very valid category, the ebook is in the valid category and the assessment instrument is in the very valid category, namely the RPS is 0.8375, the ebook is 0.767 based on the assessment of learning design experts and 0.822917 based on the assessment of learning media experts while the HOTS test instrument of 0.937. Based on the results of limited trials in this research, it was found that the learning tools in the category were very practical. The results of the field trial showed that the learning tools were effective in terms of student HOTS with an average percentage of trial subjects of 81.7%.
