The media used is Android comics based on local potentials of Embung Tambakboyo that contains material of interactions living creatures with its environment. Students’ critical thinking ability are analyzed based on pretest and posttest results. The N-Gain results obtained by the experiment class and control class showed the increased value for each class in the high and middle categories. Thus, it can be concluded that Android comics based on local potentials of Embung Tambakboyo that was developed could improve the critical thinking ability in science learning better than the learning media that is commonly used in schools.
