This research was conducted in class VIII of SMP Negeri 1 Telaga, Gorontalo Regency. This development research uses the ADDIE development research model. The resulting products are Teaching Modules, Learner Worksheets, and Learning Outcomes Tests. Data collection was carried out using validation sheets, learning implementation sheets, student activity sheets, critical thinking tests and student response questionnaires. The data obtained was analyzed by calculating the percentage of each acquisition score.
