Critical thinking ability are one of the ability that students need in their education life. In Indonesia, the development method for students' critical thinking ability is still low. This study aims to investigate students' critical thinking ability in excretory system in human topic, by implementing 5E-learning cycle. This research used pre-experimental method with one group pretest-posttest design. 21 students' on the 8th grade participated in this study from one of the junior high schools in Bandung, Indonesia. In this study, the researcher used ACTA (Assessment of Critical Thinking Ability) to measure students' critical thinking ability, and also there were objective instrument tests to analyze the improvement. The data result from the instrument was analyzed using SPSS 24 version software and used parametric test because that data was distributed normally. The result of students' critical thinking ability with paired t-test is sig 2-Tailed 0.000, with hypothesis (sig < 0.05) and it is significant different. The critical thinking level also improves from the challenged thinker to the beginning thinker. According to all the results, there is an improvement in students' critical thinking ability. Even though the improvement is still low, the 5E-learning cycle model can be implemented to improve students' critical thinking ability in science learning.
