This study aims to determine the effect differences of Discovery Learning and Problem Based Learning models on critical thinking skills of fifth grade students in natural sciences subject. This research was true experiment, pretest-posttest control group design. The sample in this research were 31 students of SD Negeri Cebongan 01 Salatiga as first experiment class and 31 students of SD Negeri Noborejo 01 Salatiga as second experiment class that were meet precondition test which the result of both samples was normal, homogeneous, and there were no significant differences.
