Pollution occurs when harmful substances are released into the environment. This study aims to analyze the creative thinking skills of junior high school students in natural science learning based on differences in students’ academic abilities. This research is a descriptive study involving 118 8th grade students of junior high school. Students are classified into three categories; students with high, medium, and low academic ability. The results is academic skills directly proportional to creative thinking skills. Data shows that students with high academic abilities have high creative thinking skills. This is indicated by the average calculation result of all four elements of creative thinking by 33%. The students with moderate academic ability are also known to have creative thinking skills in the medium category, which is indicated by the average calculation result of the four elements of creative thinking by 26%. Likewise, students with low academic ability, have creative thinking skills in the low category with a percentage of 23%
