This study involved 83 students of science, physics, chemistry and biology education at Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia. The process of data collection used scientific knowledge tests, science process skills tests, and scientific creativity tests. The results of the study show that: (1) scientific knowledge and scientific creativity have a positive, but not significant, relationship. Even though, the mastery of scientific knowledge was needed as a connector of science process skills with scientific creativity; (2) science process skills were positively and significantly correlated with scientific creativity; and (3) both scientific knowledge and science process skills had a simultaneous correlation to scientific creativity. Keywords: creative responsibility-based learning, science process skills, scientific creativity, scientific knowledge
