Abstract

Critical Thinking Skills are one of the skills that can be created in science learning, including physics lessons. The reason for this study is to measure student^s critical thinking skills in a physics lesson, namely impulse and momentum. The subjects of this study were students of K-10 Students of Minang Tribe in Padang City aged 15 to 16 years. Students consist of 14 male students called ^bujang^ and 16 female students called ^gadih^. This research is a single case study with embedded design. The instrument was a critical thinking skill test that has been validated by the expert. The results of the test pointed out that good understanding is 6.66%, no understanding is 56% and misconception is 37.34%. The inference is the need for the realization of learning that trains students ^critical thinking skills such as the development of instruments.
