Systems thinking is a key ESD competency since it can help learners understand the complexity and dynamics of a world problem, and needs to be incorporated early in the school environment. This research aims to investigate the impact of sustainable consciousness and system thinking through a simple science project with Secondary students. This study used quantitative research in the form of a pre-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The participant in this study were 20 7th-grade students in one private school in Bandung. The 2 instruments used in this research: questionnaire to measure students' sustainable consciousness and a test item to measure students' system thinking competency. Data from both instruments were analyzed using SPSS software and Rasch Stacking and Racking. Based on the Wilcoxon test result, there is no significant difference in sustainable consciousness after completing the learning activities. However, the Rasch analysis indicated a 15% improvement. Meanwhile, in system thinking competency, there is a significant difference after the learning activities based on the Wilcoxon result analysis, and a 50% improvement based on the Rasch analysis. It was shown that the use of the project to enhance sustainable consciousness and system thinking competency plays a critical role. But, the project on plant modified water filtration is not really affecting the students' sustainable consciousness. Because the environment that observed is quite clean and comfortable and students still do not really close to the context that discusses sustainable development goals.
