This study is a preliminary research to explore critical thinking skills and students curiosity of primary school in understanding science through simple inquiry laboratory activities. Participants are 20 students of 4<sup>th</sup> grade from one of the primary schools in Bandung. The researcher uses descriptive method to describe student activity during learning, student idea, and student's response in learning, obtained through personal communication, student worksheet and questionnaire. In the first lab activity, researchers used plasticine to explore students' ideas for design 3 objects for exploring science concept namely "floating, drifting and sinking. In the second activity students are directed to apply the concept that has been obtained in the first activity, which is they should selecting and classify red bean and corn with good quality and bad quality that used to be seeds. The results show that critical thinking ability and students curiosity begin look when they design objects that are expected for floating and drifting. Students are enthusiastic about experimenting and trying to recreate if their plasticine design fails. Trial and error activities are also stimulate them to continue their idea to find the right design objects. That concepts can be applied by student in daily life to select and classify seeds with good and less quality, and they are enthusiastic to plant it and compare it growth. Results also show that students enjoy learning, not sleepy and bored, and feel challenged</span><table class="MsoNormalTable" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; mso-padding-alt: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-border-insideh: .5pt solid windowtext; mso-border-insidev: .5pt solid windowtext;" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-irow: 0; mso-yfti-firstrow: yes; mso-yfti-lastrow: yes;"><td style="width: 305.95pt; border-top: solid windowtext 1.0pt; border-left: none; border-bottom: solid windowtext 1.0pt; border-right: none; mso-border-top-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;" valign="top" width="408"><p class="Abstrakabstract"><strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Exploring Critical Thinking And Students Curiosity Through Simple Inquiry Laboratory Activity</span></strong><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN">.

The Relationship Between Student's Creativity And Cognitive Learning Outcome Through The Implementation Of Project Based Learning On Biology

“…Student creativity can also be stimulated to more active both hand on and minds on through various learning activities based on active learning and also develop critical thinking skills such as inquiry or project based learning (Laelasari & Hilmi Adisendjaja, 2018).…”

Students’ Responses to Guided Discovery Based-Worksheets in Physics Material on the Respiratory System

“…Student worksheets can be made interactive by using clear learning models and steps for easy understanding. Students can see directly from the video without having difficulty in understanding the writing (Laelasari & Adisendjaja, 2018;Yulkifli, Ningrum, & Indrasari, 2019) Figure 1 Graph of result student's response…”

Tingkat Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Guru Biologi Kota Pekanbaru

“…Kemampuan berpikir kritis juga berperan dalam peningkatan kemampuan praktik dan pengetahuan (Cohen, 2010). Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir kritis penting untuk diperhatikan dari segala aspek yang berkemungkinan dalam perkembangan (Laelasari & Hilmi Adisendjaja, 2018). Berpikir kritis menjadi salah satu primadona dalam sebuah kajian penelitian karena pentingnya kemampuan berpikir kritis tidak hanya dalam aspek pendidikan tetapi pada setiap aspek kehidupan.…”
