The development of Worksheets based on the STEM approach pays attention to the elements of writing, the hierarchy of materials, and the selection of questions as an efficient and effective stimulus. This research aims to produce Worksheets based on the STEM approach that meets the feasibility of improving students’ critical thinking skills. The development model in this research refers to the 4D (four-D) research and development model by taking sample data from high school science students in the former Besuki Residency, namely Jember, Situbondo, Banyuwangi, and Bondowoso Regencies. The research instrument uses tests, observations, and documentation. The research results show that Worksheets based on the STEM approach meet the valid, practical, and effective criteria for improving students’ critical thinking skills. This research implies that the availability of Worksheets is expected for students to research teaching materials independently. In Worksheet, students will get materials, summaries, and assignments related to the material.
