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.
