The research subjects were fifth-grade students at MIS Maura El-Mumtaz, Binjai City, North Sumatra, totaling 21 students. Based on the results of the study in terms of feasibility, the material expert obtained a score of 98% categorized as feasible, and the media expert obtained a score of 95% categorized as feasible. In terms of practicality, the results from the educators’ responses showed an average score of 94% classified as very practical, and the results from the teachers’ responses showed a score of 96% categorized as very practical. In terms of effectiveness, the Student Worksheets were tested through a pretest and posttest using critical thinking indicators. The average pretest score was 7.86, while the average posttest score was 19.50. The average n-gain score obtained was 0.94, categorized as very effective. Thus, the Discovery Learning-based Student Worksheets developed are feasible, practical, and effective for use in science learning at the elementary school level to improve students’ critical thinking skills
