Critical thinking is one of the essential skills of 21st century learning. Therefore, students are required to have these skills to be applied in physics learning. The study aims to measure students critical thinking skills on Temperature and Heat. Participants in this study are 29 of 11th grade students (10 males and 19 females) in the city of Bandung. The instruments used are five essay questions with five different indicators. The results show that the average value obtained is 31 with less categories. The conclusion, students’ critical thinking skills on Temperature and Heat are still less. Thus, there is a need for development in the learning process to improve the critical thinking skills of 11th grade students on Temperature and Heat.
