摘要

This research aims to develop a Student Worksheet Scientific approach based on the material temperature and heat to improve critical thinking skills junior high school students of class VII at the designing aspect, pedagogical aspects, content aspect, indicator of the ability to think critically. This research was conducted from March to June 2015. This type of research is the development of research using ADDIE models. 3.7 KD research subjects understand the concept of temperature, thermal expansion, heat, heat transfer, and their application in the mechanism of safeguarding the stability of body temperature in humans and animals as well as in everyday life. The instrument used to collect data is LKS assessment sheets, sheets critical thinking skills and siswaData questionnaire responses obtained from LKS development based on a scientific approach to the material temperature and heat to improve critical thinking skills that have been validated by four (4) people valildator, comprising of Biology Education lecturer and science teacher at SMPN 1 Pekanbaru.
