In comparison, the practicality of implementing lesson plans obtained a percentage of 94.00%, and student activity obtained a percentage of 95.00% with an outstanding category. The effectiveness of science teaching materials showed pretest results with an average of 66.30, while the post-test data was 87.22. Novelty: This research shows a significant increase in the critical thinking skills of elementary school students through learning science teaching materials based on field trips with local wisdom. The update of this research is to implement field trip activities into teaching materials so that learning in cultivating critical thinking is exciting for students.
